APOLOGY 

This  volume  is  intended  primarily  for  the  members  of  the 
Philomathean  Society — Senior,  Junior,  Nominal  and  Honorary. 
To  those  of  our  alumni  who  by  their  generosity  have  made  pos- 
sible the  publication  of  this  book,  the  editors  desire,  in  behalf 
of  the  Society,  to  extend  their  most  sincere  thanks — not  only 
to  those  whose  financial  contributions  have  been  so  liberal,  but 
also  to  those  who  have  aided  the  editors  with  information  which 
has  been  of  inestimable  value  in  remedying  the  few  defects  in 
the  Society 's  records.  The  minute  books  are  complete  save 
for  the  years  1824-36,  and  this  want  is  supplied  by  other  records 
such  as  "Reviews,"  catalogues  of  officers,  publications,  and  the 
"Recorder's  Roll."  Signing  the  "Recorder's  Roll"  is  part  of 
the  initiation  ceremony  to  this  day,  and  the  venerable  volume 
contains  the  signature  of  every  man  who  has  been  a  member  of 
Philo. 

In  presenting  this  work  the  editors  are  aware  of  its  many 
defects,  but  they  beg  the  indulgence  of  the  reader,  calling  atten- 
tion to  the  fact  that  they  have  been  hampered  by  their  ignorance 
as  amateurs,  and  by  the  inaccessibility  of  the  desired  informa- 
tion. Every  fact  of  history  in  this  volume  has  been  as  far  as 
possible  tested  by  the  records  of  the  Society  and  the  memories 
of  the  alumni.  Corroboration  of  details  has  been  no  small  part 
of  the  work.  Every  living  member  of  the  Society  has  been 
communicated  with  at  least  twice  during  the  past  eighteen 
months;  some  more  than  twice;  for  those  who  were  prominent 
during  Junior  membership  already  know  well  how  often  the 
editors  have  bothered  them.  Therefore,  the  editors  hope  the 
Senior  members  will  overlook  the  faults  of  the  volume,  and 


will  recognize  that  every  effort  has  been  made  to  render  it  as 
complete  and  accurate  as  circumstances  allow. 

To  those  who  are  not  members  of  Philo,  the  editors  offer 
their  work  as  a  memorial  of  the  one  hundred  years*  unbroken 
existence  of  the  Society,  and  as  a  testimony  that  Philo  has  always 
done  her  duty  by  her  sons.

ADDRESS  ON  THE 
HISTORY  OF  THE  PHILOMATHEAN  SOCIETY 

BY 
EDWARD  P.  CHEYNEY,  '83 

"Little  of  all  we  value  here 
Wakes  on  the  morn  of  its  hundredth  year 
Without  both  feeling  and  looking  queer." 

So  said  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes:  but  he  was  thinking  of 
things,  or  of  individual  people,  not  of  associations.  Organized 
societies  do  not  necessarily  grow  old.  Men  grow  old,  but  man 
remains  ever  young.  So  it  is  with  Philo.  Though  in  existence 
for  a  hundred  years  she  is  still  young,  young  with  the  youth  of 
perpetual  rejuvenation.  Every  year  there  is  an  influx  of  new  and 
youthful  blood.  It  is  true  that  these  new  men  grow  old,  in  a 
college  sense;  and  wearied  with  the  course  of  four  long,  laborious 
and  eventful  years,  their  shoulders  bowed  with  the  weight  of 
office,  their  brows  clouded  with  the  perplexities  of  policy,  and 
their  minds  exhausted  by  the  unsolved  problems  of  many  a  long 
discussion,  they  lay  aside  the  responsibility  of  their  official  duties 
and  suspend  their  more  or  less  regular  attendance.  But  there  is 
always  a  new  generation  ready,  the  officers'  chairs  do  not  remain 
empty  and  the  rostrum  never  relapses  into  silence. 

This  being  so,  it  is  not  my  duty  as  biographer  to  describe  the 
youth,  the  manhood,  the  inevitable  senescence  and  the  growing 
decrepitude  of  a  human  career,  nor  as  historian  to  trace  the  rise, 
the  greatness,  the  decline  and  fall  of  a  nation,  but  to  put  before 
you  in  a  few  words  the  conditions  under  which  this  old  yet  young 
society  came  into  existence,  to  call  attention  to  a  few  salient 
points  of  its  subsequent  career,  and  to  describe  some  of  its  trans- 

21 


formations  in  the  perpetual  process  of  adaptation  to  changed 
surroundings  which  is  the  necessary  condition  of  all  life. 

The  Philomathean  Society  was  established  in  the  year 
1813,  as  the  fact  that  we  are  now  celebrating  its  centennial  indi- 
cates. There  is  still  in  our  hands  the  sheet  of  paper  containing 
the  declaration  of  organization  and  the  promise  to  support  the 
Constitution  signed  by  the  thirteen  original  members  of  the 
Society  on  the  2d  of  October  of  that  year.  The  preliminary 
arrangements  had  been  previously  made  and  the  consent  of  the 
new  Provost,  Dr.  Frederick  Beasley,  obtained.  The  approval 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  is  recorded  on  their  minutes  of  the  23d 
of  November.  It  is  as  follows:  "The  Board  sanctions  the 
institution  of  a  Literary  Society,  to  consist  of  the  students  and 
Alumni  of  the  University  or  such  of  them  as  shall  be  admitted 
members  thereof,  and  a  suitable  room  shall  be  appropriated  to 
their  use."  These  thirteen  founders  seem  to  have  been  the  whole 
senior  class  of  the  College.  It  was  the  day  of  small  things.  We 
were  a  nation  of  only  six  million  people.  There  were  then  scarcely 
more  inhabitants  in  the  whole  State  of  Pennsylvania  than  there 
are  now  in  West  Philadelphia.  There  were  but  three  members 
of  the  Faculty:  a  Professor  of  Moral  Philosophy,  a  Professor 
of  Languages  and  a  Professor  of  Mathematics.  The  college 
course  was  but  three  years  in  length.  Many  of  the  students 
when  they  entered  were  between  thirteen  and  fourteen  years  of 
age,  most  of  them  just  above  fourteen.  The  early  laws  of  the 
Society  placed  fifteen  years  as  the  lowest  limit  for  membership 
into  its  mature  ranks,  and  it  was  difficult  to  preserve  this  standard 
of  age.  It  was  seldom  that  any  class  numbered  more  than  a 
dozen,  still  more  seldom  that  the  whole  College  numbered  more 
than  fifty.  The  thirteen  seniors  who  founded  the  Society  were 
therefore  probably  about  a  quarter  of  the  whole  number  of 
students  in  college  and  were  about  seventeen  years  of  age,  a  year 
younger  than  the  average  freshman  of  the  present  time. 

22 


The  rooms  which  were  granted  to  the  new  Society  were 
better  than  the  lofty  and  airy  and  quiet  but  far  from  sumptuous 
quarters  the  Society  now  occupies.  The  building  in  which  the 
University  was  then  housed  was  the  handsome  structure  described 
in  the  old  prints  as  the  "President's  House."  It  was  the  first 
"White  House."  It  stood  on  the  west  side  of  Ninth  Street 
where  the  Post  Office  building  now  stands,  midway  between 
Market  and  Chestnut  Streets.  It  was  surrounded  by  open 
stretches  of  land  extending  almost  unbroken  to  the  Schuylkill. 
When  Philadelphia  had  been  chosen,  for  the  time,  as  the  capital 
of  the  United  States,  this  building  had  been  erected  by  the  State 
of  Pennsylvania  as  a  dwelling  place  for  the  President.  But  it 
was  not  ready  for  Washington  or  Jefferson,  and  Adams  had  other 
plans,  and  with  the  location  of  the  permanent  capital  further 
south,  the  President's  house  had  no  reason  for  existence  as  such 
and  in  1800  had  been  sold  to  the  University.  In  1806  some 
additions  were  made  for  the  Medical  Department.  It  was  in  a 
spacious  group  of  rooms  in  the  southeast  corner  of  the  third  floor 
of  the  original  building  that  the  Society  was  ensconced.  Doubt- 
less by  leaning  slightly  from  their  southern  windows  the  early 
members  of  the  Society  could  see  the  woods  and  fields  beyond  the 
river  where  sixty  years  later  a  building  was  to  go  up  from  which 
their  successors  can  now  look  back  on  the  old  site  and  measure 
the  course  of  the  years  by  the  changed  world  that  lies  between 
Ninth  Street  and  Thirty-sixth.  Is  it  only  a  century  that  sepa- 
rates that  world  from  this? 

Many  of  the  expressions  and  practices  familiar  to  all  Philo 
men  date  from  the  very  beginning  of  its  existence.  The  meeting 
night  then  as  now  was  Friday.  The  title  "Moderator"  for  the 
presiding  officer  was  adopted  at  once  and  the  first  Moderator 
was  elected  at  the  first  meeting,  while  the  first  Censor  Morum 
was  elected  at  the  third  meeting.  The  practice  of  debating  and 
the  practice  of  fining  members  for  non-performance  were  begun 

23 


promptly  and  simultaneously  at  the  second  meeting — Mr.  Chew 
having  been  fined  on  that  occasion  31 J  cents.  A  glimpse  of  the 
condition  of  the  finances  in  the  outer  world  is  obtained  from  the 
order  shortly  afterward  that  the  treasurer  should  not  receive 
in  payment  for  fines  any  bank  notes  except  those  of  Philadelphia 
or  of  New  Jersey  banks.  Another  indication  of  the  existence  at 
that  time  of  public  questions  still  only  partially  settled  is  the 
subject  of  one  of  the  early  debates,  "Should  women  be  permitted 
to  preach?"  This  was  decided  in  the  negative. 

An  echo  from  a  still  more  distant  world  is  a  debate  in  1818, 
"Whether  any  advantages  have  resulted  to  Europe  by  the  down- 
fall of  Bounaparte?"  Most  of  the  debates  and  discussions, 
however,  reflected  the  classical  interests  of  the  time.  Compari- 
sons of  the  merits  of  Greek  and  Roman  heroes,  Latin  orations, 
translations  of  classical  prose  and  verse  assigned  by  the  Moderator 
to  be  handed  in  to  a  classical  committee,  discussions  of  old  Greek 
problems  in  casuistry  or  dialectic,  seem  to  have  been  the  staple 
of  the  literary  exercises.  Debates  were  then  more  perhaps 
than  now  looked  upon  as  forensic  training  for  lawyers,  and  the 
early  members,  therefore,  like  some  in  later  days,  seem  to  have 
felt  that  parliamentary  contests  and  impeachment  trials  were 
equally  good  for  that  purpose.  Henry  Gilpin,  Moderator,  was 
impeached  in  a  trial  that  lasted  from  November,  1 81 7,  to  February, 
1818,  and  when  he  subsequently  became  Attorney-General  of 
the  United  States  he  may  well  have  looked  back  to  these  experi- 
ences with  a  new  sense  of  reality.  Within  this  early  period  the 
Library  was  founded  and  public  "exhibitions"  of  orations  were 
held,  analogous  to  the  prize  debates  and  orations  of  later  days. 
Thus  Philo  became  an  established  and  integral  part  of  the  college 
life  of  the  first;  half  of  the  century. 

The  old  Presidential  mansion  was  eventually  torn  down  and 
two  buildings  erected  in  its  place,  one  for  the  Medical  School, 
the  other  for  the  College.  In  the  latter,  Philo  was  given  a  new 

24 


room  and  at  the  same  time  a  new  neighbor  and  rival,  Zelo,  founded 
in  1829.  This  was  the  period  when  Zelosophic,  Philalethian, 
Erosophian,  Hermetic,  Calliopean  and  other  societies  with  ingen- 
ious classical,  especially  Greek  names,  were  being  founded  in 
many  American  colleges.  They  were  encouraged  by  the  faculties, 
their  objects  were  predominantly  literary  and  they  were  thus 
quite  clearly  differentiated  from  the  Greek  letter  societies,  most 
of  which  indeed  came  somewhat  later.  With  some  of  these 
similar  societies  in  other  colleges,  Philo  has  entered  into  debates 
within  recent  years,  though  but  few  of  them  have  had  so  long  a 
continuous  existence  as  she. 

Fifty  years  passed  away  and  it  was  time  for  the  Society  to 
celebrate  its  semi-centennial.  The  students  had  become  a  more 
numerous  and  a  somewhat  older  body.  They  were  now  approx- 
imately sixteen  years  old  on  entrance  to  college  and  there  were 
some  one  hundred  and  twenty  in  college.  The  term  had  been 
lengthened  to  four  years,  and  the  faculty  had  been  added  to 
until  the  catalogue  for  1863  shows  six  professors.  The  Law  and 
I  Scientific  Schools  had  been  added  to  the  University,  but  Philo 
\  still  remained  distinctly  an  Arts  society,  members  drawn  from 
\my  other  department  being  entirely  exceptional.  The  intervening 
half  century  between  1813  and  1 863  had  seen  many  ups  and  downs 
in  the  history  of  the  College  and  of  Philo,  but  at  no  time  were 
its  meetings  suspended  nor  the  old  customs  seriously  invaded. 
On  the  contrary,  at  certain  times  its  intellectual  life  was  especially 
active,  and  once  at  least  this  intellectual  activity  was  put  into  a 
material  form,  the  results  of  which  still  remain.  This  was  the 
publication  of  the  volume  on  the  Rosetta  Stone.  In  the  spring 
of  1856  a  member  named  Conrad  presented  to  the  Society  a  cast 
of  the  Rosetta  Stone  and  read  a  paper  on  the  subject  of  hiero- 
glyphics. Where  he  got  the  cast  or  the  interest  in  that  unfamiliar 
subject,  history  does  not  record.  The  incident,  however,  excited 
some  interest,  and  three  other  men,  Hale,  Jones  and  Morton, 

25 


took  the  matter  up  and  induced  the  Society  to  appoint  them  a 
committee  to  make  a  report  on  the  puzzling  present  that  had  been 
made  to  them.  Becoming  more  and  more  deeply  interested  in 
their  task,  as  intellectual  young  fellows  without  too  much  else 
pressing  upon  them  are  apt  to  do,  they  not  only  drew  up  a  manu- 
script report,  with  a  translation,  notes  and  illustrations,  but  a 
year  or  so  later  had  the  whole  work  lithographed  with  colored 
illustrations.  All  copies  were  soon  bought  up  and  a  second 
edition,  which  was  published  a  year  later  by  the  Society,  was  also 
exhausted.  It  has  long  been  a  rare  book  now,  but  fortunately 
copies  exist  in  both  the  Society  and  the  University  Library. 
Serious  recognition  has  been  given  and  should  be  given  to  what 
was  a  serious  and  meritorious  piece  of  work.  Occasionally,  as 
we  read  the  annals  of  the  Society,  new  customs  emerge.  In 
January,  1847,  occurred  what  appears  to  have  been  the  first 
Philo-Zelo  joint  debate.  Six  Zelo  men  and  five  Philo  men  on 
two  successive  evenings  discussed  the  highly  original  question, 
"Was  the  execution  of  Charles  I  justifiable?'*  Curiously  enough, 
according  to  modern  competitive  ideas,  the  two  societies  were 
not  pitted  against  one  another,  some  men  from  each  society 
appearing  on  each  side  of  the  question.  On  the  conclusion  of 
the  debate  the  decision  was  given  on  the  question  itself,  not  in 
favor  of  either  society.  The  relations  between  the  members 
of  the  two  societies  were  not  apparently  always  restricted  to 
the  field  of  debate.  In  February,  1861,  an  entry  on  the  minute 
book  indicates  that  on  the  preceding  Friday  evening  some  mem- 
bers of  Philo  had  destroyed  some  of  Zelo's  possessions.  The 
Society  disavows  any  knowledge  of  the  circumstances  but  at  the 
same  time  offers  to  pay  the  bill  for  repairs.  It  is  of  interest  to 
note  that  at  this  meeting,  among  the  members  present  were  two 
destined  later  to  become  Provosts  of  the  University,  William 
Pepper  and  Charles  C.  Harrison.  The  number  of  members  of 
Philo  who  in  later  life  became  prominent  is  a  notable  fact,  but 

26 


one  perhaps  that  can  hardly  be  dwelt  on  with  perfectly  good  taste 
in  an  assembly  so  largely  made  up  of  the  persons  concerned. 
However,  it  may  be  of  interest  to  remark  in  discussing  the  year 
1863,  that  James  Murray  Mason,  of  Mason  and  Slidell,  the  Con- 
federate Commissioners  who  had  two  years  before  that  date 
been  taken  by  a  United  States  vessel  from  an  English  mail  steamer 
and  almost  became  the  occasion  of  war  between  England  and 
our  country,  had  been  a  member  of  Philo  and  its  sixteenth 
Moderator. 

During  this  war  period,  when  Philo  was  rounding  out  the 
first  half  century  of  its  existence,  occurrences  in  the  outside  world 
could  not  help  but  be  reflected  in  College  and  in  the  Society. 
There  were  in  those  days  still  many  members  from  the  South  and 
feeling  ran  high.  The  election  of  prominent  personages  to 
honorary  membership  was  made  the  means  of  carrying  on  political 
quarrels.  Major  Anderson,  President  Lincoln,  General  McCIellan 
and  General  Rosencrans  were  at  various  times  nominated  and 
according  to  the  changes  of  majorities,  elected,  blackballed  or 
had  the  record  of  previous  action  upon  them  expunged  from  the 
minutes.  The  Secretary  has  left  the  record  of  the  close  of  the 
meeting  of  February  27,  1863:  "General  George  McCIellan  voted 
on.  Blackballed.  Former  motion  in  reference  to  expunging 
names  of  honorary  members  recalled.  Debated.  Intense 
excitement.  Question  called  and  lost.  Exceeding  disorder, 
disgracing  the  hall,  in  which  it  was  moved  to  adjourn.  Carried. 

"George  E.  Oakman,  Secretary." 

Some  months  before,  it  had  been  resolved  that  those  members 
who  had  received  leave  of  absence  from  the  faculty  for  the  purpose 
of  entering  the  service  of  their  country  should  receive  their  diplo- 
mas from  Philo  just  as  they  would  from  the  College. 

The  fiftieth  anniversary  ceremonies  of  the  Society  were  held 
in  the  midst  of  the  darkest  period  of  the  war.  The  terrible  battle 
of  Gettysburg  had  been  fought  three  months  before,  the  campaign 

27 


of  Chattanooga  was  just  beginning.  The  country  was  divided 
in  opinion  and  many  doubtful  in  their  loyalty.  President  Lincoln 
on  the  very  eve  of  the  immortal  Gettysburg  address  was  subjected 
to  widespread  and  harsh  criticism.  Earthworks  for  the  possible 
need  of  defense  of  Philadelphia  had  been  thrown  up,  beginning 
just  at  the  western  end  of  the  present  dormitories  and  passing 
in  front  of  the  Veterinary  building.  A  quarry,  three  squares 
west  of  the  new  Dental  Hall,  at  Forty-third  and  Spruce  Streets 
was  in  use  as  a  practice  ground  for  recruits.  A  corps  of  University 
students,  professors  and  some  who  are  now  trustees  was  either 
in  the  field  or  being  held  as  reserves.  At  the  Philo  semi-centennial 
ceremonies,  which  were  held  on  the  6th  of  October,  speaker  after 
speaker  referred  in  tones  of  grief  to  the  dark  cloud  hanging  over 
the  nation,  to  the  seeming  set-back  in  the  progress  of  civilization, 
to  the  rift  in  the  fabric  of  our  people. 

Now,  fifty  years  later,  as  we,  a  nation  of  more  than  a  hundred 
millions,  rejoice  in  our  unbroken  and  unthreatened  unity  through 
the  whole  extent  of  the  national  territory,  our  government  for 
the  time  administered  by  a  man  freely  chosen  by  the  whole  people, 
though  a  native  of  one  of  the  states  then  in  rebellion;  questions 
of  secession  and  slavery  and  sectionalism  long  since  settled,  or 
relegated  to  the  field  of  historical  interest,  and  replaced  by  new 
questions,  belonging  in  the  social  rather  than  in  the  political 
order,  we  must  again  pause,  astonished  by  the  change,  and  cry 
as  before  when  we  compared  the  early  with  the  later  days,  is  it 
only  half  a  century  that  separates  that  time  from  this? 

The  changes  that  have  come  to  Philo  and  the  College  of  which 
Philo  is  a  part,  during  this  half  century  defy  description  within 
the  bounds  of  this  slight  historical  outline.  The  change  of  loca- 
tion from  Ninth  Street  to  its  present  habitation  in  West  Philadel- 
phia, which  typified,  just  as  it  made  possible,  a  larger  opportunity, 
a  larger  life,  wider  ideals;  the  entrances  and  the  exits  of  the 
fifty  classes  of  men  with  all  their  varying  interests  and  character- 

28 


sties,  the  debates,  the  literary  and  political  contests,  the  occasional 
courses  of  lectures  which  Philo  initiated,  the  entertainments  for 
which  she  was  sponsor,  the  effect  on  the  College  of  the  mere 
continuing  existence  of  a  society  with  its  history,  its  practices 
and  its  ideals — of  such  materials  must  its  history  be  made  up  or 
pictured  in  the  imagination.  There  are,  however,  two  or  three 
forms  of  its  activity  that  may  well  receive  more  concrete  mention. 
One  of  these  is  its  experience  in  journalism.  From  the  earliest 
times,  periodical  papers  had  been  prepared  in  manuscript  form, 
were  read  and  continued  for  a  shorter  or  longer  time.  Occasion- 
ally a  printed  journal  was  established  and  lived  its  little  life  of  a 
few  months.  But  in  1 875  the  University  Magazine  was  established, 
and  published  regularly,  at  first  as  a  monthly  and  then  as  a  semi- 
monthly, by  a  committee  of  the  Society  and  at  the  Society's 
expense,  or  rather  at  its  financial  risk,  since  the  expenses  were  as  a 
matter  of  fact  always  met  by  its  own  income.  Its  files  still 
exist  intact  in  the  University  Library,  in  the  Philadelphia  Library 
and  in  other  places.  After  a  life  of  ten  years  it  was  made  the 
foundation  of  a  magazine  of  more  general  University  interest, 
appeal  and  responsibility,  which  was  to  be  published  by  a  group 
of  editors  drawn  from  the  whole  University.  The  merger  of  the 
University  Magazine  into  the  Pennsyhanian  was  an  act  of  en- 
lightened self-abnegation  on  the  part  of  the  Society  and  it  has 
had  its  reward  in  the  recognition  that  it  founded  the  college 
journalism  at  Pennsylvania  which  has  since  developed  into  one 
daily,  one  weekly  and  two  monthly  magazines. 

The  history  of  college  and  intercollegiate  competitive  debat- 
ing has  been  much  the  same.  The  early  debates  with  Zelo  have 
already  been  mentioned.  Zelo  went  out  of  existence  soon  after 
1870  and  was  not  re-established  until  1892;  but  soon  after  this 
time  inter-society  debates  were  begun  anew  and  have  been  con- 
tinued since.  Philo  has  also  debated  with  more  or  less  regularity 
with  the  Philolexian  Society  of  Columbia,  and  with  other  societies 

29 


at  Haverford,  North  Carolina  and  other  colleges.  In  1894  this 
practice  was  put  into  more  regular  form  by  our  entrance  into  the 
Intercollegiate  Debate  Union.  This  membership  has  in  turn 
been  placed  for  the  most  part  in  the  hands  of  representatives  of 
the  College  at  large  as  being  a  wider  constituency  than  the 
Society,  and  Philo  has  again  played  the  honorable  part  of  the 
pioneer  who  recognizes  and  welcomes  the  advent  of  the  outlander 
and  turns  over  to  him  the  land  that  he  has  surveyed. 

Our  part  in  the  dramatic  interests  of  the  College  was  taken 
later  and  has  been  more  kept  within  our  own  hands.  Although 
Philo  men  had  taken  an  active  part  in  the  formal  classic  plays 
given  at  an  early  period  as  part  of  the  Commencement  exercises, 
in  the  Greek  play  of  1886,  in  those  of  the  Garrick  Club,  the 
University  Dramatic  Association  and  other  such  productions, 
it  was  not  until  1909  that  as  a  society  she  gave  a  play  under  her 
own  charge,  with  all  the  parts  taken  by  her  own  members.  With 
the  Society's  literary  interests  and  traditions,  it  was  natural  to 
seek  a  subject  in  the  earlier  periods  of  dramatic  tradition,  and  the 
play  chosen  was  the  interesting  and  poetic,  "Second  Shepherd's 
Play,"  from  the  Towneley  Cycle  of  Mystery  Plays.  It  was  a  great 
success  and  four  plays  have  been  given  since,  "The  Two  Angry 
Women  of  Abington,"  "Mucedorus,"  Dekker's  "Shoemaker's 
Holiday,"  and  Jonson's  "Alchemist."  The  Society  has  thus 
established  a  tradition  of  excellent  acting  and  a  distinctive  selec- 
tion of  plays  of  literary  and  historical  interest,  and  few  of  her 
activities  have  given  more  satisfaction  to  her  Senior  members. 

As  we  approach  the  present  time  it  becomes  less  and  less 
practicable  to  give  a  continuous  narrative  of  events,  and  the 
historian  must  yield  his  place  to  the  orator.  Nor  is  it  any  part 
of  the  duty  of  the  historian  of  the  first  century  of  the  Society's 
existence  to  prophesy  what  will  happen  in  the  second.  Neverthe- 
less, it  is  hard  to  stand  on  the  peak  from  which  one  looks  back 
over  the  past  and  not  turn  before  descending  to  peer  for  a  moment 

30 


through  the  mists  into  the  vague  landscape  of  the  future.  Is 
there  now  and  will  there  continue  to  be  a  place  in  College  for  Philo 
to  fill  worthy  of  her  past  career  and  sufficiently  useful  and  pleasant 
to  justify  her  continued  existence?  Many  of  the  functions  she 
has  fulfilled  in  the  past  have  now  been  taken  over  by  other  college 
organizations  or  agencies.  Philo  has  initiated  and  then  passed 
on  to  other  college  journalism  and  much  of  college  debating,  and 
there  are  many  other  organizations  which  give  the  opportunities 
which  formerly  she  alone  offered.  Has  she  still  a  reason  for 
existence?  That  depends  on  her  success  or  failure  in  perceiving 
and  pursuing  and  comprehending  the  most  elusive  and  yet  the 
most  influential  of  all  spirits,  the  spirit  of  the  age.  We  may  look 
back  lovingly  and  sometimes  even  longingly  into  the  past,  but 
we  cannot  safely  neglect  or  be  blind  to  the  onward  beckoning 
of  the  spirit  of  our  own  time.  This  spirit  is  like  the  neglected 
Dryad  who  called  to  Rhcecus,  "'tis  thou  art  blind."  Just  as  the 
Society  reflected  the  life  of  1813,  just  as  its  interests  and  habits 
fifty  years  later  corresponded  to  the  interests  and  influences  of 
that  time,  so  the  Society  must  now  adapt  itself  to  the  demands 
and  the  opportunities  of  this  later  period.  Philo  may  well  be 
proud  of  her  long  career  and  take  satisfaction  in  the  hundred 
years  of  continuous  life  that  we  celebrate  tonight.  She  is  a 
noble  tree  with  its  roots  deeply  imbedded  in  the  past;  but  it  is 
into  the  light  and  air  and  sunshine  of  today  that  her  branches 
and  leaves  and  fruit  must  be  lifted.  Subjects  of  debates  may 
well  be  different  from  those  of  a  century  or  of  fifty  years  ago;  this 
is  a  new  age.  The  Society  may  and  doubtless  will,  as  it  has  done 
in  the  past,  give  up  some  of  its  old  practices  and  forms  and 
requirements  and  take  up  new  kinds  of  activity;  the  college  of 
today  is  very  different  from  the  college  of  a  hundred  or  of  fifty 
years  ago.  On  the  other  hand,  many  of  the  attractions  of  Philo, 
its  good  fellowship,  its  mingled  appeal  to  the  social  and  intellectual 
interests  of  men,  the  occasional  opportunity  for  the  exchange 

31 


of  special  intimacies,  these  and  many  other  things  are  perennial 
and  but  little  affected  by  the  passage  of  time.  Moreover,  the 
Society  whose  junior  members  now  in  this  hundredth  year  of  its 
existence  show  the  interest,  the  energy,  the  perseverance,  and  the 
maturity  that  has  marked  the  work  of  their  representatives,  the 
young  men  who  have  prepared  this  celebration,  will  not  want 
for  the  thoughtfulness  or  insight  or  other  qualities  that  will  give 
it  permanence. 

And  now  as  I  began  this  address  with  a  quotation  from 
Holmes  in  his  lighter  vein,  may  I  close  with  a  no  less  familiar 
quotation  from  him,  but  one  representing  his  more  thoughtful 
mood?  It  is  a  few  lines  from  the  "Chambered  Nautilus."  Have 
we  not  been  looking  back  on  the  earlier  rooms  of  the  Society 
where,  like  that  of  the  Nautilus, 

"its  dim  dreaming  life  was  wont  to  dwell," 

and  in  successive  stages  of  the  Society's  existence,  again  like  the 
Nautilus,  it 

".     .     .     left  the  past  year's  dwelling  for  the  new, 

Stole  with  soft  steps  its  shining  archway  through, 

Built  up  its  idle  door, 

Stretched  in  its  last-found  home,  and  knew  the  old  no  more." 

And  of  the  Society  as  of  the  soul  of  man,  we  can  say, 

"Build  thee  more  stately  mansions,  0  my  soul! 

As  the  swift  seasons  roll 

Leave  thy  low- vaulted  past! 
Let  each  new  temple,  nobler  than  the  last, 
Shut  thee  from  heaven  with  a  dome  more  vast."

ADDRESS  OF  THE  REV.  DR.  CRUSE. 

Read  at  the  Semi-Centennial  of  the  Society,  October  6,  1863. 

Gentlemen: — Assembled  as  we  are  for  the  purpose  of  com- 
memorating the  day  from  which  we  date  the  existence  of  this 
Society,  I  must  cast  myself  upon  your  indulgence,  in  opening  the 
subject,  for  the  remarks  that  I  may  offer.  We  are  now  entering 
upon  the  fiftieth  year  since  the  organization  in  1813,  so  that  our 
Society,  though  not  fifty  years  old,  has  reached  its  fiftieth  year, 
and  will  be  at  its  close  just  half  a  century  in  being.  Thus, 
though  not  as  venerable  for  age  as  many  similar  societies,  its 
duration  has  evinced  a  principle  of  vitality,  which  we  trust  and 
believe  will  be  as  perpetual  as  the  honored  Alma  Mater  which 
gave  it  birth,  and  wish  that  the  maturer  child  may  live  with  its 
mother  until  the  consummation  of  all  things,  supplying  the 
material  for  the  nurture  of  literature,  virtue  and  religion  until 
the  end. 

It  is  not  the  least  among  the  reasons  for  mutual  congratula- 
tion on  the  present  occasion,  that  besides  the  many  distinguished, 
respected  and  esteemed  names  that  appear  on  your  catalogue,  or 
that  are  here  with  us  now,  there  are  so  many  of  the  few  that 
participated  in  the  formation  yet  living,  and  of  these  again  what 
is  still  more  worthy  of  note,  that  of  those  who  were  elected  to  sit 
under  the  canopy,  the  first  three  are  still  among  us  (and  present 
with  us).  How  it  came  to  pass  that  your  present  chairman  was 
made  first  Moderator,  or  that  the  second  Moderator,  the  Rev. 
Dr.  Muhlenberg,  was  not  the  first,  I  do  not  explain,  unless  it  was 
the  accidental  difference  of  seniority  that  influenced  the  choice, 
but  for  which  you  and  I  would  have  the  pleasure  now  of  listen- 
ing to  the  opening  address  of  my  reverend  friend  and  brother 

35 


the  second  Moderator  with  much  more  satisfaction,  I  am  sure, 
than  I  can  give.  I  could  equally  wish  to  yield  the  chair  to  our 
common  friend  Dr.  George  B.  Wood,  whose  merit  and  well- 
known  eminence  in  his  profession  have  long  since  justified  the 
election  of  the  third  Moderator.  Your  present  chairman  is 
happy  to  say  that  if  it  were  a  case  of  any  competition  at  all  he 
would  not  only  on  the  score  of  esteem  and  friendship,  but  of  solid 
merit  in  their  favor,  respectfully  decline  it. 

In  looking  back  upon  the  long  series  of  years  that  have 
passed  away  since  the  first  measures  were  taken  to  give  a  per- 
manent form  to  this  retiring  literary  arena,  we  have  a  long  line 
of  those  from  year  to  year  enlisted  in  the  career  of  literary  attain- 
ments, which  shows  that  the  Society  has  not  been  without 
contributing  its  quota  to  the  general  mind,  and  though  it  must, 
in  the  nature  of  things,  expect  to  share  in  the  great  law  of  univer- 
sal change,  yet  it  will,  and  must,  as  long  as  it  endures,  continue 
to  furnish  its  periodic  corps  of  those  who  by  this  voluntary 
discipline  of  scholastic  life  within  these  walls,  will  be  ready  to 
enter  upon  that  more  trying  discipline  which  awaits  us  all  in 
practiced  life.  And  there,  indeed,  we  need  all  the  discipline  we 
can  gather  in  the  schools  to  keep  our  lamps  unextinguished 
whilst  bred  spatio  mutantur  sxcla  animantum  et  quasi  cursores 
vital  lampada  tradunL  It  is  now  just  half  a  century  since  the 
then  senior  class  of  this  University  entertained  the  proposition 
and  carried  it  through  to  form  a  society,  the  objects  of  which 
should  be  congenial  with  and  promotive  of  the  studies  prosecuted 
in  the  classes.  It  was  to  be  for  mental,  what  the  old  gymna- 
sium was  for  bodily  strength,  an  arena  for  mutual  improvement, 
where  the  precaution  of  secrecy  was  rather  a  shield  for  the  dif- 
fident, and  the  encouragement  of  retiring  merit,  too  often  uncon- 
scious of  its  capacity  (by  its  tendency  to  isolation).  After  some 
informal  meetings  and  conferences  the  subject  was  submitted  to 
the  Provost  for  approval,  and  the  organization  and  constitution 

36 


completed  under  the  title  of  "The  Philomathean  Society  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania."  This  was  not  indeed  the  first 
attempt  of  the  kind  in  the  collegiate  department  of  the  Univer- 
sity; others  had  been  made  before,  but  none  of  them  survived 
the  class  that  formed  it.  Of  one  of  these  the  anecdote  is  told, 
known  to  most  of  us,  that  it  became  more  noted  for  its  noisy 
sessions  or  adjournments  than  its  improvement.  The  Provost 
being  requested  to  suggest  a  name  having  the  three  labials 
TTt  fi7)Ta,  <f)it  is  said  to  have  hinted  whether  they  might  not  be 
called  the  Polyphloisbaan  TroXix^Xoto-^oiai/  Society.  History  does 
not  say  whether  they  accepted  the  name  or  not,  but  its  sub- 
sequent silence  seems  to  imply  they  either  profited  by  the  pleas- 
antry to  solicit  no  characteristic  name  at  least,  or  else  they 
allowed  the  class  to  pass  on  without  further  effort  to  revive  a 
society.  It  was  after  several  such  attempts  to  establish  a  lit- 
erary association  among  the  students  had  failed,  that  the  Philo- 
mathean Society  was  formed;  it  was  at  a  time  also  when  a  new 
period  was  ushered  in  by  a  complete  change  in  the  faculty  of  the 
collegiate  department,  and  when  the  then  senior  class  that  formed 
the  Society  had  passed  from  one  Provost  to  another,  with  the 
disadvantage  of  an  interregnum  before  the  new  faculty  was 
settled.  It  is  not  our  purpose  to  enter  into  particulars,  but  in 
order  to  understand  the  better  the  relative  position  of  the  then 
senior  class  and  the  bearing  upon  the  formation  of  the  Society,  it 
seems  enough  to  state  that  whether  it  was  advantage  or  dis- 
advantage the  class  had  passed  through  the  regime  of  three 
Provosts  successively  at  the  time  of  its  commencement. 

The  Rev.  Dr.  Andrews,  Provost  at  the  time  of  our  entrance 
into  college,  was  at  the  head  of  the  University,  but  did  not  sur- 
vive the  first  year  of  our  collegiate  course.  His  decease  was 
followed  by  an  interval  of  some  months  under  the  Rev.  Dr. 
McDowell,  who  once  held  the  Provostship,  and  during  whose 
temporary  superintendence  to  supply  the  place  of  Dr.  Andrews, 

37 


the  Rev.  Dr.  Beasly  was  called  to  fill  the  station.  Dr.  Robert 
Patterson  was  at  the  same  time  appointed  Professor  of  Mathemat- 
ics and  Natural  Philosophy,  and  Mr.  James  Thompson  Professor 
of  Languages,  forming  thus  a  new  faculty.  It  was  about  the 
time  of  these  changes  and  the  concomitant  organization  that  the 
proposal  was  made  and  carried  into  effect  to  form  a  Society  of 
Students  of  the  University  with  a  view  to  literary  and  scientific 
scholarship. 

At  this  time  there  was  yet  standing  in  unimpaired  finish 
that  once  admired  structure  reared  by  Pennsylvania  as  a  resi- 
dence for  the  President  of  the  United  States,  and  intended 
especially  for  the  first  President,  General  Washington.  Most  of 
us  well  remember,  it  was  on  the  present  square,  midway  between 
Market  and  Chestnut  Streets,  and  for  a  long  time  even  after  its 
destination  was  changed,  was  known  as  the  President's  House. 
The  President  we  know  never  occupied  it,  and  declined  it  as 
a  present,  and  it  was  then  conveyed  to  the  trustees  of  the 
University. 

In  the  southeast  corner  of  this  edifice,  on  the  third  floor,  over- 
looking a  then  large  extent  of  vacant  grounds,  there  was,  as 
many  of  us  will  recollect,  a  fine,  spacious  room  some  twenty-five 
feet  square,  which,  together  with  two  smaller  rooms  adjoining, 
was  assigned  to  us  as  Philomathean  Hall.  There  it  was  that  we 
began  the  Society  now  entered  upon  its  fiftieth  year.  It  was 
of  course  a  time  of  much  interest  to  the  class,  and  we  could  wish 
the  old  building  were  still  in  existence  as  a  monument  of  interest- 
ing facts  now  fading  from  memory. 

In  this  rapid  glance  at  the  Society's  origin,  we  are  reminded 
by  the  retrospect,  of  the  interesting  period  of  history  that  fills  up 
the  interval  and  makes  it  altogether  unsurpassed  by  any  other 
period  since  the  beginning  of  the  Christian  era.  The  world  may 
be  said  to  be  almost  entirely  revolutionized  within  this  half  cent- 
ury, not  by  arms,  but  by  the  arts  of  peace.  It  was  a  great 

38 


change,  a  marked  revolution,  when  Christianity  first  triumphed 
over  political  paganism — a  great  change  when,  in  after  ages,  the 
art  of  printing  made  the  thoughts  of  one  man  the  thoughts  and 
views  of  thousands  and  tens  of  thousands  almost  as  soon  as  he 
could  commit  them  to  the  pen — a  great  change  initiated  by  the 
discovery  of  Columbus,  and  still  more  important  changes  at  the 
period  of  the  Reformation.  But  all  these  appear  to  us  at  this 
day  only  preparatory,  tributary  movements  towards  the  rapid, 
wondrous  developments  of  the  nineteenth  century.  The  world 
has  unraveled  more  of  its  own  resources  for  the  benefit  of  man 
than  in  any  period  heretofore. 

A  terrible  and  dark  cloud  has  indeed  come  over  us,  in  the  fair 
and  flattering  calculations  for  the  future  of  the  age,  and  here  at 
least  in  our  country  we  have  been  compelled  to  pause  in  our 
conclusions,  by  the  long-dreaded  calamities  of  a  civil  war — 

The  hand-breadth  cloud  the  sages  feared. 

Its  bloody  rain  is  dropping, 
The  poisonous  plant  the  fathers  spared, 

All  else  is  overtopping. 

Yet  as  we  mourn  the  sad  necessity  which  for  a  time  at  least 
seems  to  arrest  the  progress  of  civilization  and  to  defeat  the 
hopes  of  a  republic  like  ours — a  republic  in  theory  at  least,  only 
consistent  with  principles  of  universal  emancipation — I  say  as  we 
lament  this  seeming  interruption  to  the  progressive  march  of 
light,  right  and  truth,  I  believe  that,  after  all,  when  the  storm 
is  over,  we  shall  have  more  reason  to  rejoice  in  its  results  than 
we  now  have  or  shall  have  to  mourn  over  its  sorrows.  The 
wheel  of  time  cannot  go  back.  The  law  of  God's  universe  is 
onward!  and  seeming  retrocessions  are  only  seeming.  They  are 
like  signals  to  the  halting  traveler  to  a  near  and  better  road 
where  he  may  find  more  safety,  more  certainty  to  reach  his 
destination.  And  though,  as  in  our  national  crisis  now,  the 

39 


halting  progress  is  fraught  with  pain,  anxiety  and  blood,  and 
great  the  sacrifices  to  cast  out  the  evil  spirit  that  has  brought 
about  this  national  calamity,  yet  a  due  acknowledgment  of  this 
may  help  us,  under  God,  to  a  perfect  cure  of  the  evil.  And 
though  we  may  be  called  to  a  yet  severer  trial  than  that  now  is, 
yet  we  may  meet  it  with  God  on  our  side. 

"For  who  that  leans  on  His  right  arm 

Was  ever  yet  forsaken? 
What  righteous  cause  can  suffer  harm, 
If  He  its  part  has  taken." 

We  naturally  turn  from  the  past  to  the  future,  that  future 
which  to  us  all  is  expected,  canvassed,  scanned  and  almost  meas- 
ured by  our  hopes  and  fears,  and  to  which  we  look  forward  for 
the  solution  of  the  past.  We  hail  the  anniversary  with  mutual 
congratulations,  and  best  wishes,  and  prayers  for  times  to  come 
— an  interesting  time  undoubtedly  to  all,  to  none  more  so  than 
to  those  few  of  us  who  were  instrumental  in  giving  the  Society 
an  existence  which  has  thus  far  stood  the  test,  and  which  by  all 
the  indications  of  the  present  gives  an  earnest  of  perpetuated 
vitality.  To  none  can  it  be  a  time  of  deeper  interest  in  its  remi- 
niscences than  to  your  first  presiding  officers,  who,  at  the  end  of 
so  long  a  series  of  years,  are  yet  in  the  land  of  the  living,  and 
though  not  all  present  may  send  their  gratulations  to  the  assem- 
bled members  in  Philomathean  Hall.  And  as  we  cast  our  eye 
into  that  mysterious  future,  not  knowing  what  even  a  day  may 
bring  forth,  how  many  earnest  questions  press  upon  us  which 
we  should  be  glad  to  resolve  or  see  resolved  into  a  happy  issue. 

Fifty  years  ago,  with  all  the  party  ferments  that  have  come 
and  gone,  we  still  had  peace  within  our  borders.  We  all  settled 
down  in  the  belief  that  the  United  States  was  our  country,  and 
whether  born  North  or  South — in  Maine  or  Georgia,  in  Boston 
or  Charleston — the  one  was  as  much  our  country  as  the  other. 

40 


Sectional  differences  might,  as  they  always  will,  create  partial- 
ities, but  the  great  interests  were  one.  But  since  those  days  alas, 
how  changed!  quantum  mutatus  ab  illo!  The  young  giant  had 
grown  strong  and  mighty — but  a  reptile  had  been  fed  and 
nutured  at  his  side  until,  outgrowing  all  control  of  law  and  right, 
it  has  dealt  the  virus  of  its  posion  against  the  hand  that  fostered 
it,  and  now  a  gigantic  struggle,  more  fearful  than  that  of  the 
fabled  Titans,  is  the  present  war. 

Whatever  be  the  result  of  this  our  national  struggle,  although 
we  cannot  but  believe  it  will  terminate  in  favor  of  justice  and 
humanity;  whoever  among  the  senior  members  of  the  Society 
may  live  to  see  the  end,  there  are  none  that  can  expect  to  see 
another  fiftieth.  If  any  of  the  classes  survive  the  present  so 
long,  then  indeed  they  will  have  something  like  a  parallel  with 
the  day  we  have  reached. 

In  the  comparison  we  are  reminded  of  the  sacred  rites  of 
the  fabled  Prometheus,  where  the  torch-race  from  the  grove  of 
Academus  to  the  city  stimulated  the  Grecian  youth  to  a  contest 
of  speed  in  which  we  see  an  expressive  symbol  of  the  career  of 
life.  The  race  itself  started  from  the  altar  of  Prometheus.  The 
racers,  with  lighted  torches  kindled  at  the  altar,  were  to  vie  with 
each  other  in  bearing  the  torch  unextinguished  to  the  goal. 
Whoever  gave  out  handed  his  torch  to  the  nearest  racer.  One  of 
great  authority,  in  allusion  to  these  races,  has  said,  "So  run  that 
ye  may  obtain."  There  is  a  race  of  life  where,  like  the  prizes 
in  the  games,  there  is  something  to  be  obtained.  Cicero,  in 
reference  to  these  Promethean  sacred  rites,  observes,  as  it  does 
not  imply  that  he  who  receives  the  torch  has  been  swifter  of 
foot  than  the  one  who  has  delivered  it,  so  in  life  the  one  that 
yields  is  not  always  the  inferior,  and  so  we  are  not  to  judge  the 
merits  of  the  race  by  one  feature  alone.  Yet  he  alone  was 
crowned  who  brought  his  burning  lamp  to  the  goal.  And  thus 
also  with  peculiar  fitness  the  analogy  applies  to  every  generous 

41 


emulation.  In  the  symbolic  device  of  the  Society,  the  burning 
lamp,  supplied  by  human  hand,  seems  only  like  a  part  or  prelim- 
inary of  the  Promethean  race.  The  nurturings  of  diligent  care 
and  study  cherishing  the  lamp  of  mind,  as  the  only  ground  of 
solid  excellence,  becomes  a  torch-race  at  the  altar  of  Prometheus. 
For  though  there  may  be  other  ways  of  ascending  to  the  skies 
besides  a  course  of  study,  yet  it  is  as  true  now  as  it  was  of  old. 
"Nihil  sine  labor  e  vita  mortalibus  dedit."  What  the  old  Roman 
(Lucretius)  has  made  the  picture  of  life  in  the  Lampadedromia  is 
as  applicable  to  every  institution  aspiring  to  excellence.  So 
the  participants  of  Philomathean  Hall  have  no  objects  in  view 
but  the  great  concerns  of  life.  The  association  is  a  Promethean 
torch-race  where,  class  after  class,  a  portion  retire  handing  over 
the  unextinguished  light  to  others.  So  the  lamp  of  mind  is  kept 
burning,  from  one,  through  years  of  succession  where  every 
generation  is  expected  to  preserve  what  has  been  transmitted, 
whilst  these  again  deliver  up  the  trust  undiminished,  unimpaired 
to  the  next — 

Sic,  quasi  cursores  Vitai  lampada  tradunt. 

Among  the  good  effects  resulting  from  the  Society,  there  has 
been  the  formation  of  another,  with  similar  or  the  same  objects 
in  view,  under  the  same  auspices  of  the  College;  its  very  name, 
indicative  of  zeal,  combined  with  wisdom,  is  an  indirect  tribute  to 
the  Philomethean  Hall,  which  it  proposes  to  rival.  May  it  be 
to  both  a  generous  competition,  an  emulation  in  which  each 
society  will  find  its  advantage  only  in  honoring  each  other's 
merits  and  following  what  is  good. 

After  all,  it  reminds  us  of  the  great  lesson  that  underlies  all 
others,  life  is  the  career  for  us  all,  and  it  has  its  cares,  its  duties, 
its  responsibilities.  Grave  considerations  these,  and  that  we  may 
finish  our  course  with  the  humble  hope  that  we  have  not  lived  in 
vain.  As  the  race  must  be  run,  so  the  lamp  must  be  kept  burn- 

42 


ing.  It  is  the  lamp  of  mind  that  needs  all  nurturing  care,  it  is 
the  oil  of  truth  that  must  feed  the  flame,  it  is  the  hand  of  virtue, 
humanity  and  righteousness  that  must  hold  it  up  in  the  race  and 
make  it  available  for  all  that  is  good  and  great.  A  noble  prob- 
lem, a  noble  strife,  an  emulation  that  lives  only  in  the  desire  of 
doing  good  and  which,  like  angels  in  heaven,  will  rejoice  over 
one  sinner  that  repenteth.  It  is  an  emulation  which,  descending 
from  heaven,  is  planted  as  a  ladder  on  earth  for  us  to  ascend,  and 
is  thus  to  be  the  moving  power  of  every  onward  step  in  the 
torch-race  of  life.  For  the  Grecian  youth  the  altar  of  Prometheus 
was  erected  in  the  groves  of  the  Academy,  and  the  race  was 
thence  to  the  city  of  Minerva.  The  altar  itself  was  the  symbol 
of  forecast,  ingenuity,  invention,  and  the  rival  racers  symbolized 
the  candidates  in  science,  literature  and  the  arts. 

In  this  Promethean  age  in  which  we  live,  this  age  of  artistic 
invention  and  scientific  application,  we  may  well  find  a  parallel 
to  the  ancient  fables,  with  perhaps  the  great  difference,  that  our 
facts  are  stranger  than  their  fictions.  We  have  no  Promethean 
altar  indeed  at  which  to  kindle  the  lamp  of  mind,  and  our 
onward  strides  to  the  goal  of  approval  have  no  sympathy  with 
those  that  sped  their  course  to  the  walls  of  Athens.  But  we 
have  our  light  taken,  not  from  the  structure  made  with  hands, 
but  from  that  light  which,  coming  from  on  high,  is  only  another 
name  for  eternal  truth.  Nurtured  from  that  fountain  it  can 
never  die  away,  but  advancing,  ascending,  rising  high  as  its 
source,  must  grow  and  spread  and  rule  from  age  to  age  and  the 
consummation  of  ages. 

With  such  difference  in  our  favor,  we  have  also  a  nobler  race 
to  run,  a  nobler  prize  to  win.  It  may  not  be  glory,  it  may  not  be 
fame,  it  may  not  be  wealth  or  power  or  even  health,  but  it  will 
be  above  all  the  approval  of  our  own  hearts  and  the  approval  of 
Him  who  is  greater  than  our  heart.  What  more  than  this  we 
need  shall  be  dealt  out  largely — for  that  is  the  Almighty  verdict 

43 


—they  shall  be  added.  We  shall  all  have  sufficient  in  the 
struggle  here  to  gain  the  prize  there,  and  when  the  torch-race  of 
life  is  run  we  shall  resign  the  lamp  of  mind,  unextinguished  here 
only  to  revive  in  the  immortal  splendor  of  that  hereafter  which 
knows  no  extinction  or  decay. 

Allow  me,  gentlemen,  in  conclusion,  to  thank  you  for  this 
attention  by  which  I  have  been  honored,  and  as  it  is  the  last 
occasion  in  which  I  can  expect  to  share  in  your  transactions,  so 
I  may  at  this  stage,  at  least,  and  as  one  of  the  racers  hand  the 
lamp  to  another.  Gentlemen,  as  we  have  met  now,  we  shall 
never  meet  again,  our  present  forms  an  epoch  which  can  only 
be  realized  once  in  a  lifetime,  and  before  another  semi-centennial 
celebration,  we  shall  not  any  of  us  have  occasion,  call,  or  even 
interest  in  the  race.  A  sober,  solemn  thought,  but  no  dream. 

Happy,  if  then,  in  obedience  to  the  behests  of  Sovereign 
Goodness,  we  must  retire  from  the  arena,  we  may,  with  cheer- 
fulness, give  place  to  those  that  follow,  with  the  consciousness 
that  whilst  we  may  not  have  done  always  what  we  would,  we 
have  done  at  least  in  the  direction  of  right,  what  we  could. 

Failures  here,  indeed,  may  again  create  a  pause,  but  as  in 
the  career  of  life,  so  in  its  termination,  the  universal  remedy  is 
only  there,  where  we  find  the  universal  good. 

Et  sic  faventibus  cobis  lampada  trado.

ADDRESS  DELIVERED  BEFORE  THE  PHILOMATHEAN 

SOCIETY  AT  THE  CENTENNIAL  CELEBRATION, 

DECEMBER  13,  1913 

BY 
FRANCIS  A.  LEWIS,  ESQ. 

Mr.  Chairman,  Members  of  the  Philomathean  Society,  Ladies  and 

Gentlemen: 

If  one  is  inclined  to  be  conventional  upon  an  occasion  such 
as  this,  he  has  a  clear  and  easy  path  marked  out  for  him. 

Philadelphia  might  be  described  as  the  home  of  Centennials 
—beginning  with  1876  and  continuing  down  to  the  present  time 
there  have  been  numberless  anniversaries  commemorating  vari- 
ous events  of  more  or  less  importance.  Like  world's  fairs,  they 
have  been  worked  overtime.  There  has  been  a  degree  of  same- 
ness about  them  which  has  rather  wearied  people — largely,  I 
venture  to  think,  because  too  much  stress  has  been  laid  upon  the 
historical  side  of  the  event. 

The  original  laudator  temporis  acti  was,  I  am  quite  sure,  a 
Philadelphian,  and  he  left  innumerable  descendants.  He  is  a 
character  I  never  admired.  The  man  with  ancestors  never 
appealed  to  me.  To  his  ancestors  I  have  no  objection  what- 
ever, doubtless  they  were  excellent  people,  but  they  are  dead 
long  since  and  their  descendants  are  only  too  willing  to  shine 
by  a  reflected  light.  To  put  it  concretely,  I  am  much  more 
interested  in  what  a  man  is  now  doing  than  what  his  ancestors 
did.  A  number  of  patriotic  societies  came  into  being  as  an  echo 
of  the  centennial  spirit,  which  to  me  have  been  sources  of  peren- 
nial amusement.  With  stately  tread  they  march  annually  to 

47 


church  to  hear  about  Washington,  and  on  a  pleasant  June 
day  by  boat  or  train  start  on  a  pilgrimage  to  some  historic  spot; 
an  oration  is  delivered,  good  food  and  drink  abound,  and  they 
return  thoroughly  convinced  that  something  has  been  accom- 
plished. 

The  societies  have  no  doubt  justified  their  existence — so 
have  cemeteries. 

I  shall  spend  no  time  upon  a  consideration  of  the  past 
of  the  Philomathean  Society,  this  has  already  been  handled 
and  well  handled.  That  we  are  an  old  and  honorable  organiza- 
tion goes  without  the  saying  or  we  should  not  have  survived;  but 
no  organization  is  worth  maintaining  unless  it  can  meet  the 
pragmatic  test. 

Instead  therefore  of  indulging  in  a  series  of  laudatory 
remarks  which  could  be  strung  out  to  an  indefinite  length,  I 
prefer  to  use  the  brief  time  at  my  disposal  to  consider  what  I 
deem  to  be  an  important,  modern  question.  To  this  Society  I 
owe  a  debt,  a  great  debt,  that  no  statute  of  limitations  can  bar, 
and  it  is  because  I  want  to  discharge  some  small  portion  of  that 
debt  that  I  am  here  tonight. 

It  is  nearly  two  score  years  since  I  retired  as  Moderator,  in 
the  spring  of  1877.  That  is  a  long  time  in  any  one's  life.  I 
know  full  well  the  misconstruction  to  which  one  renders  himself 
liable  if  he  refers  to  himself  and  any  successes  he  may  have  had 
and  I  shall  not  fall  into  any  such  trap,  but  I  do  not  think  what  I 
say  ought  to  be  open  to  misconstruction  if  I  remark  that  what- 
ever influence  be  it  ever  so  small  that  I  have  been  able  to  exert, 
has  been  largely  due  to  being  able  to  talk  to  and  reason  with 
bodies  of  people — and  how  to  do  this  I  chiefly  learned  in  yonder 
building  on  Friday  nights  at  the  regular  meetings  of  this  Society. 
The  Philomathean  is  nothing  more  nor  less  than  a  debating 
society  and  debating  means  the  ability  to  think  and  talk  on  one's 
feet.  So  I  naturally  drift  into  my  subject.  I  want  to  talk  to 

48 


you  rather  informally  and  in  no  sense  oratorically  about  Public 
Speaking.  I  shall  consider  its  value,  and  the  conditions  that  go 
to  make  it  successful. 

The  number  who  are  worth  listening  to  as  speakers  today  is 
lamentably  small.  Why  is  this  so?  Men  are  not  lacking  either 
in  knowledge  or  intelligence ;  the  average  man  can  express  himself 
forcibly  and  effectively  in  conversation,  but  put  him  on  his  feet — 
his  knees  begin  to  shake,  and  he  stammers  out  his  feeble  remarks 
in  disjointed  sentences  to  which  it  is  painful  to  listen.  We  all 
know  this  from  experience.  Stage  fright  is  usually  assigned  as 
the  cause,  but  this  is  only  another  name  for  self-consciousness. 
It  is  a  condition  which  most  men  find  it  absolutely  impossible 
to  overcome.  Unless  one  can  overcome  stage  fright  he  had 
better  refrain  from  speaking.  Your  attitude  to  an  audience  of  a 
thousand  people  must  be  exactly  the  same  as  your  attitude 
toward  the  man  who  sits  next  you  at  dinner  and  with  whom  you 
are  conversing  on  some  interesting  subject.  The  only  way  to 
get  confidence  is  to  forget  yourself. 

It  is  well  at  the  outset  that  I  define  what  I  mean  by  Public 
Speaking.  I  do  not  refer  to  Essays  or  to  Papers  prepared  and 
read  upon  a  thousand  different  subjects.  Those  who  read  them 
do  not  pretend  to  be  public  speakers.  The  pulpit,  the  stump, 
the  public  dinner,  what  may  be  called  public  meetings  or  meet- 
ings held  to  arouse  interest  in  some  project,  and  legislative 
bodies,  about  enumerate  the  occasions  upon  which  the  public 
speaker  is  in  evidence. 

A  word  as  to  sermons — I  think  it  is  pretty  generally 
admitted  that  the  average  modern  sermon  is  a  failure,  in  that 
it  really  does  not  interest  anybody  very  much.  I  have  no  quar- 
rel with  the  clergy  at  all,  but  preaching  is  not  generally  their 
forte.  There  are  many  reasons  why  this  is  so,  but  the  chief 
one  is  that  every  message  must  from  a  sermon  standpoint  be  of 
a  conventional  length.  A  man  may  have  a  good  message  which 

49 


he  can  deliver  forcibly  and  sufficiently  in  ten  minutes,  but  he 
must  string  it  out  to  twenty-five,  else  church  will  be  out  too  soon, 
and  the  redundancy  spoils  it.  On  the  other  hand,  he  may  have  a 
message  which  an  hour  would  scarce  suffice  to  deliver  but  that 
would  keep  church  in  too  long.  The  result  is  the  same  in  both 
cases — the  message  is  a  failure.  I  have,  however,  neither  the 
time  nor  the  inclination  to  dwell  on  sermons.  It  is  a  subject  in 
itself,  and  I  make  but  this  passing  reference  to  it.  Now  a 
word  as  to  oratory. 

When  we  lament,  as  we  sometimes  do,  the  decadence  of 
what  is  called  oratory,  some  things  must  be  borne  in  mind. 
Daniel  Webster  was  certainly  one  of  the  greatest  public  speakers 
of  his  day,  an  old-fashioned  orator.  An  aged  resident  of  this 
city  told  me  recently  of  a  testimonial  dinner  given  to  Webster  in 
Philadelphia  in  the  late  forties.  Daniel  was  the  only  speaker 
and  he  spoke  four  hours. 

That  day  is  past  and  gone.  It  is  nothing  to  say  that  we 
have  no  one  who  can  speak  four  hours,  the  answer  is  that  if  we 
had — no  one  would  listen  to  him. 

The  cry  is  for  speakers  who  will  satisfy  modern  demands, 
not  for  a  return  to  the  ancient  style  of  oratory. 

The  familiar  story  of  the  man  who  rose  at  a  dinner  and 
inquired  "what  shall  I  talk  about"?  and  received  the  reply  from 
one  of  the  diners,  "about  five  minutes,"  exactly  illustrates  the 
modern  situation.  The  present-day  public  crave  and  appreciate 
good  speeches,  but  they  must  be  brief.  Brevity  is  the  soul  of 
speech  as  well  as  of  wit.  The  difficulty  is  that  not  only  the 
would-be  speakers  but  the  educational  institutions  are  singularly 
blind  to  what  is  wanted  and  do  nothing  to  fit  either  themselves 
or  their  pupils  for  the  task.  For  example,  in  theological  sem- 
inaries there  is  always  a  chair  of  homiletics,  which  is  another 
name  for  sermon  preparation,  but  the  difficulty  is  that  the  pro- 
fessor usually  is  a  very  indifferent  preacher  himself.  Who  shall 

50 


teach  the  teacher?  The  same  is  true  in  greater  or  less  degree  of 
our  educational  institutions  where  the  subject  is  either  altogether 
ignored  or  left  in  unfit  hands. 

Another  grave  error  is  the  foolish  assumption  that  any  man 
distinguished  in  any  particular  walk  of  life  can  make  a  speech. 
The  Honorable  Epaminondas  Pipps  has  written  a  very  erudite 
or  clever  book,  or  he  is  an  eminent  authority  on  Birds,  or  Tuber- 
culosis, or  Meteorology,  or  perchance  Eugenics,  therefore  he  is 
invited  to  speak  at  a  dinner  as  a  sort  of  drawing  card.  But 
Epaminondas  cannot  speak — he  knows  it,  his  audience  soon  dis- 
cover it,  and  swear  at  him.  He  may  be  at  fault  for  coming,  but 
his  hosts  are  more  at  fault  for  asking  him,  and  the  custom  is  just 
as  absurd  as  it  would  be  to  invite  a  distinguished  professor  of 
Greek  to  play  on  an  organ  and  fault  him  when  he  failed — it  is 
not  his  job.  There  is  nothing  more  hideous  than  to  be  obliged 
to  listen  at  a  dinner  to  a  speaker  who  does  not  know  how  to 
speak.  Sometimes  he  produces  a  manuscript,  which  is  quite  as 
incongruous  after  dinner  as  would  be  a  moving  picture  show  at 
a  funeral.  Sometimes  he  imagines  himself  humorous,  but  this 
conceit  is  shared  by  none  of  his  audience.  We  are  thankful  for 
brevity  but  usually  have  little  on  this  score  to  be  thankful  for. 

I  speak  feelingly  upon  this  subject  because  I  have  so  often 
been  the  victim  at  dinners  of  two  classes  of  speakers,  those  with 
thoughts  who  do  not  know  how  to  express  them,  and  those  with- 
out thoughts  who  try  to  express  mere  trash. 

The  story  is  well  known  of  a  tent  evangelist  in  the  South 
who  in  the  prayer  before  the  sermon  exclaimed  nearly  a  dozen 
times,  "Oh,  Lord,  give  me  power."  One  of  his  audience  a 
little  under  the  influence  of  liquor  cried  out,  "Young  man, 
what  you  want  ain't  power,  its  ideas."  So  of  the  after-dinner 
speaker. 

The  after-dinner  speech  is  the  supreme  test  of  a  man's  wits. 
He  must  not  only  have  them  about  him,  but  all  over  him. 

51 


Some  few  years  ago  a  distinguished  statesman  was  invited 
to  Philadelphia  to  speak  at  a  dinner  upon  Alexander  Hamilton. 
My  informant  told  me  that  at  the  end  of  forty-five  minutes  he 
had  concluded  the  story  of  Hamilton's  boyhood  days,  entirely 
oblivious  of  the  fact  that  twenty  minutes  is  the  absolute  limit 
of  any  after-dinner  speech. 

Having  played  the  part,  although  unwillingly,  of  the 
destructive  critic,  it  is  now  in  order  that  I  become  constructive, 
for  the  mere  iconoclast  is  a  public  nuisance.  You  young  men 
before  me  are  destined,  I  hope,  for  some  kind  of  an  active  life — 
professional  or  otherwise,  it  makes  no  difference.  Your  influence 
will  be  immeasurably  enhanced  if  you  shall  be  able  to  express 
your  thoughts  publicly  as  occasion  demands. 

It  will  be,  as  I  said  a  few  moments  ago,  thirty-seven  years 
next  spring  since  I  bade  good-bye  to  this  Society  and  this  Uni- 
versity. During  that  period,  and  especially  during  the  last  half 
of  it,  I  have  heard  countless  speeches,  good,  bad  and  indifferent, 
and  have  made  a  great  many  which  I  suppose  may  be  described 
by  the  same  adjectives.  Let  me  then  play  the  part  of  mentor 
and  offer  some  practical  suggestions  to  you.  First  of  all  and 
foremost  of  all,  never  speak  without  adequate  preparation — if 
you  do,  you  will  degenerate  into  a  mere  talker  and  the  question 
will  be  the  same  as  was  raised  nineteen  hundred  years  ago  at 
Athens,  "What  will  this  babbler  say?"  I  have  said  preparation, 
what  do  I  mean  by  it?  A  speech  consists  of  three  parts, 
thought,  expression,  delivery — as  to  the  last  later.  Unless  you 
have  some  thought,  do  not  attempt  to  speak,  for  you  cannot 
express  a  non-existent  thing.  The  average  educated  young  man 
is  not  usually  destitute  of  thoughts,  and  we  may  assume  that  the 
would-be  speaker  has  the  thoughts  and  wants  to  put  them  in 
shape  for  utterance.  I  would  advise  him  first  of  all  to  read  the 
King  James  version  of  the  Bible,  and  to  keep  on  reading  it.  Not 
as  a  religious  duty  at  all,  for  with  that  I  am  not  now  concerned, 

52 


but  in  order  to  soak  himself  in  good  English.  Ignorance  of  the 
English  language  is  characteristic  of  present-day  speakers.  When 
you  have  gathered  your  thoughts  together  proceed  to  put  them 
on  paper  in  just  such  language  as  may  occur  to  you.  Having 
completed  this,  go  over  it  carefully  and  strike  out  every  word 
possible  of  Latin  or  Greek  derivation.  You  are  not  to  make  a 
Latin  or  Greek  but  an  English  speech. 

You  remember  this  story  of  Daniel  Webster.  He  had  been 
appointed  Secretary  of  State  by  William  Henry  Harrison,  and 
the  latter  sent  him  the  draft  of  a  very  bombastic  inaugural 
address  for  correction.  Returning  to  his  boarding  house  late 
one  evening  his  landlady  remarked  that  he  looked  exhausted  and 
inquired  if  anything  had  happened.  "You  would  think,"  replied 
Webster,  "that  something  had  happened  if  you  knew  what  I 
have  done.  I  have  this  afternoon  killed  seventeen  Roman 
proconsuls."  The  slaughter  of  Harrison's  proconsuls,  will  not  be 
a  circumstance  to  the  carnage  that  will  follow  your  elimination 
from  your  speech  of  Latin  and  Greek  derivatives. 

The  spirit  and  the  lesson  of  the  Parable  of  the  Prodigal  Son 
are  not  to  be  underestimated,  but  I  venture  to  think  that  its 
great  popularity  is  largely  though  unconsciously  due  to  its  fault- 
less English.  There  is  scarcely  a  derivative  word  in  it.  The 
same  is  true  of  other  parables,  notably  that  of  the  Tares  and  the 
Wheat.  No  one  should  attempt  public  speaking  who  does 
not  know  these  parables  by  heart.  Having  corrected  your 
speech  as  to  form,  boil  it  down — reduce  it  to  its  lowest  common 
denominator — you  had  better  be  faulted  for  brevity  than 
discursiveness.  And  when  you  shall  have  done  all  this, 
memorize  it.  Yes,  learn  it  by  heart,  and  then  throw  away  the 
manuscript. 

Of  course  this  suggestion  brings  up  the  whole  question  of 
what  is  called  extempore  speaking,  and  the  advice  I  give  is 
limited  to  young  men.  There  is  no  greater  danger  than  that  of 

53 


extempore  speaking,  for  sooner  or  later,  generally  sooner,  your 
thoughts  as  well  as  your  language  will  become  extempore,  and 
that  spells  ruin.  The  habit  you  will  form  of  correct  and  con- 
densed expression  by  writing  and  memorizing,  will  serve  you  in 
good  stead  against  the  time,  sure  to  come  in  later  life,  when  pres- 
sure of  other  duties  will  forbid  such  painstaking  and  elaborate 
preparation. 

For  a  short  speech,  and  that  is  the  only  kind  young  men 
should  make,  the  extempore  and  the  manuscript  are  both  abom- 
inations. I  should  urge  every  young  man  who  desires  to  speak  to 
go  on  the  stump  for  a  while.  One  can  always  get  an  assignment 
to  a  small  town  and  there  is  no  better  training  school.  A  single 
prepared  speech  will  serve  for  a  whole  campaign  and  you  learn 
a  great  deal  by  practice  which,  if  hard  on  you,  is  still  harder  on 
your  audiences.  The  great  value  of  stump  speaking  is  that  it 
makes  one  quick  witted.  You  are  liable  to  constant  interrup- 
tions— and  if  one  is  to  attain  any  success  as  a  speaker  he  must 
be  prepared  for  a  good  deal  of  give  and  take. 

"Think,"  said  a  stump  speaker  in  an  adjoining  town, "of  the 
iniquity  of  a  tariff  on  tea  and  coffee/'  "But,"  cried  some  one 
from  the  audience,  "there  hasn't  been  any  for  ten  years."  This 
is  disconcerting  to  say  the  least.  The  speaker  was  a  fool  to  make 
such  a  statement,  but  having  made  it,  he  must  have  some  ready 
answer  or  his  usefulness  in  that  town  is  at  an  end.  I  leave  each 
of  you  to  determine  how  he  should  have  dealt  with  that  interrup- 
tion. 

Never  let  an  audience  rattle  you.  I  recollect  some  years  ago 
being  interrupted  by  a  drunken  man  at  the  Academy  of  Music. 
He  annoyed  me  a  little  and  the  audience  more.  Amid  cries  of 
"put  him  out,"  I  said,  "Don't  put  him  out,  let  me  speak  with 
him."  He  was  up  in  the  balcony.  Turning  to  him  and  thereby 
focusing  the  eyes  of  the  house  on  him,  I  said  very  quietly,  "My 
friend,  I  came  here  invited  to  make  a  speech,  and  you  came  here

uninvited  to  ask  questions.  There  isn't  time  for  us  both,  but  if 
you  will  let  me  speak  without  further  interruption,  I  will  gladly 
answer  your  questions  in  the  Green  Room  after  the  meeting." 
The  incident  was  closed  and  he  subsided.  But  then  you  are 
liable  to  interruption  from  some  one  who  is  sober.  He  is  not  so 
easy  to  handle — if  he  asks  a  sensible  question  answer  it  fairly  and 
frankly — if  not,  then  follow  Solomon's  advice  and  "answer  a  fool 
according  to  his  folly."  But  if  you  are  going  to  maintain  your 
equilibrium  you  must  be  prepared  for  the  heckler. 

Never  antagonize  an  audience.  If  it  be  in  sympathy  with 
you  this  advice  is  useless;  if  it  be  out  of  sympathy  your  duty  is 
to  win  it.  There  are  many  ways  of  antagonizing  an  audience, 
I  will  indicate  some  of  them.  Nothing  is  more  likely  to  cause 
trouble  than  making  light,  not  only  of  religion,  but  of  any  partic- 
ular religion.  The  present  is  flippantly  called  an  irreligious  age. 
This  is  not  true.  Not  only  are  men  and  women  thinking  and  feel- 
ing deeply  upon  religious  subjects,  but  those  who  are  not,  have  no 
liking  for  slurs  upon  or  criticisms  of  religion.  Closely  akin  to 
this  is  a  proper  restraint  in  speaking  of  what  I  call,  for  want  of 
a  better  name,  the  world's  heroes.  The  capacity  for  fun  is 
unlimited  in  America  and  it  is  well  that  it  is  so,  but  let  your  fun 
at  the  expense  of  heroes  be  in  good  taste.  It  is  a  curious  fact 
that  there  is  only  one  man  in  American  history  that  no  one  has 
ever  dared  to  poke  fun  at.  Go  over  the  whole  list,  and  even 
George  Washington  with  the  hatchet  and  the  cherry  tree  has 
not  been  immune  from  platform  humor,  but  no  one  has  ever 
dared  to  become  humorous  at  the  expense  of  Abraham  Lincoln. 
Himself  a  man  of  boundless  and  not  always  refined  humor,  the 
victim  during  his  life  of  more  coarse  abuse  from  the  stump  than 
any  other  American.  Referred  to  constantly  as  an  ape  and  a 
baboon.  All  this  ceased  in  1865,  and  any  public  speaker  who 
dared  to  speak  flippantly  of  Lincoln  would  be  hissed  from  the 
stage. 

55 


The  temptation  to  abuse  and  villification  is  peculiarly  char- 
acteristic of  the  stump.  Calling  one  a  liar  and  a  thief  is  easy 
and  cheap,  and  creates  antagonism.  Better  far  to  describe 
impersonally  this  kind  of  an  individual,  and  leave  to  your  audience 
the  privilege  of  identifying  him.  Calling  people  names,  like 
drink,  is  a  habit  that  grows  on  one.  A  speaker  who  begins  his 
career  by  calling  names  usually  and  speedily  degenerates  into  a 
mere  blackguard. 

I  have  hesitated  whether  I  ought  even  to  mention  the  fact, 
that  in  any  speech  delivered,  no  matter  when,  where,  or  under 
what  circumstances,  no  man  must  ever  say  a  word  that  he  would 
not  be  willing  to  say  to  his  family  at  his  dinner  table. 

Anything  of  this  sort  is  to  be  deprecated,  not  only  because 
it  is  vulgar  but  because  it  will  shortly  end  the  career  of  anyone 
who  attempts  it.  There  are  vulgar  men  in  the  world  and  vulgar 
women  too,  but  it  is  creditable  to  America  that  our  people  want 
no  exhibition  of  vulgarity  on  the  platform,  the  theater  seems  to 
provide  them  with  enough. 

More  depends  upon  the  manner  of  a  speech  than  its  matter. 
This  is  to  be  regretted  but  it  is  true.  Some  people  say  nothing 
very  well.  When  I  was  a  boy  elocution  was  taught  in  school  and 
college;  whether  all  the  elocutionists  are  dead  or  not  I  do  not 
know,  but  I  sincerely  hope  that  those  who  died  did  so  without 
hope  of  resurrection. 

The  bad  gestures  and  modulations  of  voice  that  I  was 
taught,  it  took  me  years  to  recover  from.  The  rules  that  can  be 
given  as  to  delivery  are  few  and  simple.  Be  neither  slouchy  nor 
fussy.  Do  not  come  on  a  platform  with  shambling  gait  and  on 
the  other  hand,  do  not  strut  like  a  peacock.  You  will  get  your 
audience  in  the  first  three  minutes  or  you  will  never  get  them, 
and  your  manner  will  score  heavily  in  their  first  estimate  of  you. 
Of  course  if  your  strong  card  be  drollery,  well  and  good.  Start 
off  with  it,  but  don't  mistake  buffoonery  for  drollery,  because 

56 


your  audience  won't.  Naturalness  is  the  key  to  delivery.  The 
prepared  gesture,  the  measured  period,  the  studied  enunciation, 
are  soon  detected  and  properly  laughed  at.  If  you  want  to  be 
effective  be  natural. 

Of  course  you  will  have  some  bad  natural  habits  to  correct. 
Too  many  gestures — reduce  them — many  gestures  are  not  appre- 
ciated. 

Your  usual  voice  is  your  best  voice,  provided  it  is  not  too 
loud  or  what  may  be  called  snappy.  I  know  a  speaker  to  whom 
it  would  be  a  pleasure  to  listen,  but  for  the  fact  that  he  always 
raises  his  voice  to  a  high  pitch  at  the  very  end  of  every  sentence, 
and  his  speeches  resemble  the  explosion  of  an  automobile  tire. 

In  the  last  analysis,  the  conversational  style  is  the  most 
effective.  Great  rapidity  of  utterance  is  to  be  avoided  because 
it  is  difficult  for  your  audience  to  follow,  but  it  is  immeasurably 
better  to  be  too  rapid  than  too  slow,  for  the  latter  produces 
sleep.  Above  all  things,  when  you  have  finished  sit  down. 
When  you  have  reached  the  climax  don't  risk  an  anti-climax  for 
the  sake  of  a  few  more  minutes.  "I  wish  he  had  spoken  longer," 
is  the  highest  praise  you  will  receive  for  any  speech  you  will 
ever  make.  Let  it  always  remain  an  ungratified  wish  and  suc- 
cess is  surely  yours. 

There  is  one  book,  perhaps  more  than  one,  in  existence 
called  Familiar  Quotations — the  ready  refuge  of  the  indolent 
speaker.  Quotations  should  be  used  sparingly  and  still  more 
sparingly  familiar  quotations — because  they  are  generally  so 
familiar  as  to  be  trite.  For  example,  during  the  past  ten  years 
the  repetition  of  the  fact  that  the  government  of  the  people,  by 
the  people  and  for  the  people  must  not  be  allowed  to  perish 
from  the  earth  has  brought  me  close  to  the  doors  of  a  lunatic 
asylum.  This  really  great  conclusion  of  the  Gettysburg  classic 
has  been  used  by  every  witless  babbler  till  it  has  become  jejune 
to  the  last  degree. 

57 


The  epigram  is  always  appreciated  and  one  can  usually 
afford  to  be  extravagant  with  it,  but  alliterations  are  to  be  care- 
fully handled  and  reserved  for  occasional  use — they  are  not 
particularly  difficult  to  formulate  but  they  may  be  loaded,  as  the 
late  Rev.  Dr.  Burchard  discovered. 

I  must  say  something  as  to  the  use  of  humor  and  wit  in 
speaking.  The  words  are  not  exactly  synonymous  but  the  dis- 
tinction is  so  shadowy  that  I  may  safely  disregard  it.  Wit  is,  of 
course,  a  natural  gift,  but  if  it  be  in  the  system  at  all  it  can  be 
cultivated,  and  is  a  most,  perhaps  the  most,  valuable  asset 
a  speaker  can  possess.  The  American  people  have  a  keen  sense 
of  humor — and  may  I  digress  long  enough  to  say  that  one  of  the 
most  interesting  things  to  watch  is  the  effect  of  wit  upon  an 
audience.  An  obvious  witticism  of  course  meets  with  an  imme- 
diate response,  but  real  wit  a  trifle  subtle  strikes  about  ten  per 
cent  of  an  audience  at  once,  about  eighty  per  cent  in  ten  seconds, 
the  remaining  ten  per  cent  and  a  German  audience,  never.  Of 
course  there  is  often  recourse  to  the  wit  of  others,  I  mean  apt 
stories.  These  help  along  a  speech  wonderfully,  subject  to  three 
provisoes.  The  story  must  be  reasonably  new.  Let  it  not  be 
said  of  your  anecdote: 

In  the  days  of  King  Rameses 
That  joke  died  of  paresis. 

A  story  is  good  to  illustrate  a  point  provided  it  fulfills  its  func- 
tion, but  if  it  does  not,  don't  tell  it  merely  for  the  sake  of  the 
telling.  It  may  raise  a  momentary  laugh  but  it  weakens  the 
speech.  Again,  if  you  are  going  to  tell  a  story  do  not  waste 
much  time  on  the  preface,  the  point  is  the  thing,  and  get  there 
speedily.  How  often  have  I  heard  a  really  good  story  ruined  by 
an  elaborate  statement  of  the  place  where,  or  the  time  when,  or 
the  person  to  whom  the  incident  happened. 

Let  me  illustrate — a  friend  was  visiting  an  Irishman,  who 

58 


had  on  his  parlor  mantel  a  brick  with  a  wineglass  on  top  in  which 
was  a  flower.  Curiosity  being  aroused,  he  inquired  the  cause  of 
the  presence  of  the  brick.  The  Irishman  pointing  to  his  head 
said,  "Do  you  see  that  scar?  The  brick  is  what  made  that  scar." 
"Well,  what  is  the  flower  in  the  wineglass?"  "That  is  from  the 
grave  of  the  man  who  threw  the  brick."  The  story  is  good, 
but  many  a  speaker  would  ruin  it  by  reciting  that  it  occurred  in 
Boston  and  that  the  Irishman's  name  was  Finnigan  and  the 
visitor's  name  Jones  and  the  man  who  threw  the  brick  Sullivan. 
In  the  wilderness  of  nomenclature  the  point  would  be  lost. 

Akin  to  wit  is  ridicule.  I  do  not  affirm  that  ridicule  is 
always  or  generally  a  sound,  or  for  the  matter  of  that,  any 
argument  at  all,  but  I  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  it  is  the 
most  effective  arrow  the  speaker  has  in  his  quiver  if  he  knows 
how  to  use  it.  Making  your  antagonist  ridiculous  generally 
finishes  him,  unless  when  his  turn  comes  he  can  make  you  more 
ridiculous. 

Gentlemen,  I  have  almost  finished  and  I  suppose  some  one 
will  say,  "Physician,  heal  thyself.  You  have  preached  brevity 
and  failed  to  practice  it."  That  is  true,  and  for  it  I  can  do 
naught  but  apologize.  My  excuse  is  that  of  the  letter  writer  who 
asked  pardon  for  writing  a  long  letter  because  he  had  not  the 
time  to  write  a  short  one. 

It  may  be  that  you  yourselves  have  thought  or  been  taught 
many  of  the  things  I  have  said,  but  nobody  ever  taught  them  to 
me  when  I  was  young.  Perhaps  again  they  are  not  worth  the 
knowing — but  had  I  been  taught  them  I  should  not  have  had 
to  learn  so  much  in  the  school  of  experience. 

This  Society — may  I  not  call  it  my  own  Society — interests 
me.  You  young  men  interest  me;  the  great  questions  of  today 
and  of  the  future  interest  me,  and  I  plead  with  you  for  the  sake  of 
the  Philomathean,  for  your  own  sakes,  and  for  the  sake  of  the 
country,  spare  neither  time  nor  talent  to  fit  yourselves,  not  only 

59 


to  think  but  to  find  a  way  to  express  your  thoughts  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  command  attention. 

It  will  not  perhaps  fall  to  your  lot  "the  applause  of  listening 
Senates  to  command,"  but  it  can  be  yours  if  you  will  it  so,  to 
contribute  something  with  your  voices  and  tongues  to  the  solu- 
tion of  some  of  the  varied  problems  with  which  we  as  American 
citizens  are  now  and  will  tomorrow  be  confronted. 

Mr.  Winston  Churchill  in  his  most  recent  and  most  talked 
of  book  omits  the  preface  and  adds  an  afterword.  May  I  follow 
so  distinguished  an  example.  I  appreciate  more  than  I  can  tell 
you  the  compliment  you  have  paid  me  in  asking  me  to  come  here 
and  deliver  this  address.  It  has  been  a  pleasure  to  come  and  it 
will  be  a  still  greater  pleasure  if  anything  I  may  have  said  shall 
prove  helpful  to  any  of  those  who  have  so  patiently  listened  to 
me.  May  I  add  one  more  thought.  Back  of  all  your  speeches 
stands  the  necessity  for  sincerity  and  sanity.  Unless  you  believe 
what  you  say  you  may  deceive  yourselves,  but  you  will  not  long 
deceive  other  people;  your  acts  must  not  belie  your  words.  But 
mere  sincerity  is  not  enough.  There  is  such  a  thing  as  the 
sincerity  of  a  disordered  mind,  and  it  finds  expression  every  hour 
of  every  day.  The  man  who  maintains  that  whatever  is  is 
wrong  lacks  a  well-balanced  mind,  but  his  mind  is  not  one 
whit  more  askew  than  he  who  maintains  that  whatever  is  is 
right. 

The  poor  fool  who  proposes  by  legislation  to  make  every- 
body rich,  happy  and  contented  is  just  about  as  sane  as  the 
rich  fool  who  is  opposed  to  anything  being  attempted  to  better 
existing  conditions.  With  the  former  the  personal  equation 
counts  for  nothing,  with  the  latter,  for  everything.  Both  are 
wrong.  If  you  cultivate  sane,  well-balanced  orderly  minds, 
like  the  householder  in  the  Scripture  you  will  bring  forth 
from  your  treasure  things  new  and  old,  and  both  will  be  worth 
listening  to. 

60 


Today  closes  the  first  century  of  our  life  as  a  society, 
tomorrow  begins  the  second.  Of  whatever  country  or  clime,  of 
whatever  land  or  language,  of  whatever  politics  or  religion,  we 
may  all  unite  in  the  prayer  for  the  Philomathean: 

"The  Lord  God  be  with  us  as  he  was  with  our  Fathers. 
May  he  never  leave  us  nor  forsake  us."

THE  ROSETTA  STONE  REPORT 


THE  ROSETTA  STONE  REPORT* 

BY 
HENRY  MORTON,  PH.D. 

President  of  Stevens'  Institute  of  Technology 

Although  the  present  writer  had  a  good  deal  to  do  with 
the  so-called  Rosetta  Stone  Report,  he  is  free  to  admit  that  it 
owed  its  inception  and  publication  to  the  energy  and  persistence 
of  his  collaborator,  the  Rev.  Charles  R.  Hale,  now  Dean  of 
Davenport  Cathedral,  Iowa. 

About  the  close  of  the  college  year  of  1 855-56  Mr.  Thomas 
K.  Conrad,  then  a  member  of  the  graduating  class,  and  now  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Conrad,  Rector  of  St.  Paul's,  Philadelphia,  presented 
to  the  Philomathean  Society  a  plaster  cast  of  the  famous  Rosetta 
Stone,  at  the  same  time  reading  an  essay  on  "Hieroglyphic 
Research." 

About  this  time  Mr.  Charles  R.  Hale  joined  the  class  of  1858, 
then  in  its  sophomore  year,  and  also  became  a  member  of  the 
Philomathean  Society. 

His  attention  and  interest  were  excited  by  this  model  of  the 
Rosetta  Stone,  and  asking  many  questions  about  it  which  no 
one  was  able  to  answer,  he  caused  others  to  feel  that  the  subject 
ought  to  be  investigated,  and  accordingly  a  committee  was 
appointed,  with  Mr.  Hale  for  chairman,  and  instructed  to  investi- 
gate and  report  upon  the  Rosetta  Stone.  The  other  members  of 
this  committee  were  S.  Huntington  Jones  and  the  present  writer. 
The  latter  had  already  taken  some  interest  in  the  subject  of 
hieroglyphics,  and  when,  after  a  preliminary  report  by  Mr.  Hale 
the  subject  grew  in  importance  in  the  estimation  of  the  committee, 

*  Reprinted  from  the  "Philomathean  Record"  of  1892 

65 


he  offered  to  do  some  serious  work  on  the  interpretation  of  the 
hieroglyphic  text,  and  also  to  illustrate  and  illuminate  the  manu- 
script of  the  completed  report. 

The  interest  grew  as  the  work  proceeded,  and,,  without 
any  definitely  prearranged  plan  as  to  division  of  labor,  it  arranged 
itself  finally,  as  follows:  Mr.  Hale  took  in  hand  the  Greek  and 
Demotic  texts  of  the  trilingual  inscription  and  gave  valuable 
assistance  in  translating  the  hieroglyphic  text;  Mr.  Jones  con- 
tributed an  historic  essay  on  the  "Egyptian  king,  Ptolemy 
Epiphanes,"  in  whose  honor  the  inscriptions  were  originally  made, 
and  the  present  writer  took  charge  of  the  hieroglyphic  text,  and 
of  the  pictorial  decoration  of  the  work. 

The  work  progressed  slowly  as  it  involved  much  study  of 
books  not  readily  accessible,  and  both  the  present  writer  and  Mr. 
Hale  spent  many  days  of  more  than  one  vacation  in  the  Astor 
Library  in  New  York,  as  well  as  in  the  Philadelphia  Library, 
where  only  certain  extensive  works  on  "Egyptology,"  and  on 
"Hieroglyphics"  were  to  be  seen.  Among  these  one  of  the  most 
important  was  that  of  "Lepsius,"  which  contained  a  complete 
drawing  of  an  inscription  on  a  temple  wall  at  Philae,  which 
proved  to  be  another  copy  of  the  inscription  covering  the  Rosetta 
Stone.  This  Philae  inscription  was,  in  great  part,  effaced,  but 
a  careful  collation  of  what  remained  of  it  (made  for  the  first 
time  by  this  committee)  enabled  them  to  throw  a  new  light  on 
many  otherwise  doubtful  passages  of  the  Rosetta  Stone  text. 

For  the  various  reasons  indicated,  it  was  not  until  the  sum- 
mer of  1857  that  the  manuscript  report  of  the  Rosetta  Stone 
Committee  was  finished,  bound,  and  deposited  in  the  library  of 
the  Philomathean  Society. 

Almost  immediately,  however,  it  mysteriously  disappeared, 
and  for  several  months  it  was  supposed  to  be  lost.  When,  at 
last  it  was  found  and  replaced  in  the  library,  the  circumstances 
of  its  temporary  loss  impressed  some  members  of  the  desirability 

66 


of  reproducing,  by  some  mode  of  printing,  a  volume  representing 
so  much  labor. 

The  reproduction  of  the  Hieroglyphic  and  Demotic  texts, 
and  of  the  colored  illustrations  and  illuminations,  could  only 
be  accomplished  by  chromo-lithography,  and  the  expense  of 
preparing  the  necessary  and  numerous  drawings  on  stone,  if  a 
professional  artist  were  employed,  was  prohibitory  under  the 
existing  conditions.  The  present  writer,  at  that  time,  knew 
absolutely  nothing  about  drawing  on  stone,  but  with  the  happy 
temerity  of  youth,  and  inexperience,  he  felt  that  nothing  possible 
to  man  ought  to  trouble  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, and  of  the  Philomathean  Society,  and  he,  therefore,  under- 
took, quite  as  a  matter  of  course,  to  make  all  the  required  drawings 
on  the  stone. 

In  this  task  he  spent  the  entire  summer  and  autumn  of  1 858, 
and  during  the  same  time  Mr.  Hale  worked  with  unwearied 
diligence  in  perfecting  and  enlarging  the  various  parts  of  the 
work  which  came  under  his  hands.  Shortly  before  Christmas, 
1 858,  the  first  edition  of  this  report  made  its  appearance,  and  was 
so  highly  appreciated  by  the  public  that  in  a  few  days  the  entire 
edition  was  exhausted,  and  many  times  the  original  price  of 
copies  was  offered  by  those  anxious  to  secure  them. 

Under  these  conditions  the  Philomathean  Society,  who  had 
found  this  committee  so  ready  to  execute  its  directions,  at  its 
meeting  held  January  21,  1859,  expressed  the  desire  that  this 
committee  should  prepare  a  second  edition  of  their  report.  This 
request  involved  more  than  might  at  first  sight  appear. 

To  produce  each  one  of  the  colored  designs  of  the  report, 
an  average  of  four  lithographic  stones  was  required,  and  these, 
with  the  non-illuminated  pages  of  Hieroglyphic  and  Demotic,  made 
a  total  of  several  hundred  stones.  No  lithographic  establishment 
had  such  a  stock  of  the  same  size,  or  could  afford  to  keep  them 
for  our  use;  therefore,  when  the  first  part  of  the  report  had  been 

67 


struck  off,  the  stones  were  ground  down  to  a  new  surface,  and 
used  for  a  new  set  of  pages.  Thus,  when  the  Society  desired  its 
committee  to  print  a  new  edition,  only  the  stones  used  in  the 
preparation  of  the  last  twenty  pages  or  so  retained  any  designs, 
and  thus  the  printing  of  a  new  edition  involved  the  production 
on  stone  of  more  than  a  hundred  drawings. 

Encouraged  and  inspired  by  the  already  realized  success, 
the  present  writer  willingly  undertook  this  work,  and,  profiting 
by  experience,  made  entirely  new  designs  for  all  the  pages  it  was 
necessary  to  reproduce.  Thus  the  second  edition  was  in  its  artistic 
portion  largely  a  new  work. 

This  second  edition  came  out  in  the  spring  of  J859,  and, 
like  its  predecessor,  was  not  very  long  in  being  exhausted;  so 
that  for  over  twenty  years  the  Rosetta  Stone  Report  has  been 
numbered  among  the  "scarce"  publications,  only  to  be  obtained 
from  antiquarian  book  dealers,  and  at  the  sales  of  libraries. 

Among  the  many  kind  letters  which  members  of  the  com- 
mittee received  from  various  sources,  none  were  more  gratifying 
than  one  written  by  Baron  von  Humboldt,  March  12,  1859,  in 
which  he  says,  after  acknowledging  the  receipt  of  a  copy  of  the 
report:  "The  scientific  analysis  of  the  celebrated  inscription 
of  Rosetta,  which,  despite  the  confusion  of  the  hieroglyphic 
style,  remains  an  historic  monument  of  great  importance,  has 
appeared  to  me  especially  worthy  of  praise,  since  it  offers  the 
first  essay  at  independent  investigation  offered  by  the  litterateur 
of  the  New  Continent.  It  is  for  this  national  reason  that  I  espe- 
cially greet  this  independent  work."  Speaking  further  of  "the  so 
conscientious  work  of  the  learned  committee  of  the  Philomathean 
Society,"  he  goes  on  to  say:  "The  picturesque  ornaments  added

In  view  of  the  rarity  of  the  Rosetta  Stone  Report,  it  may 
be  well  to  say  here  that  the  Rosetta  Stone  is  a  slab  of  granite 
bearing  three  inscriptions:  one  in  Hieroglyphics,  or  the  language 
of  the  priests;  one  in  Demotic,  or  the  language  of  the  people, 
used  in  common  life  and  for  commercial  transactions  in  ancient 
Egypt;  and  one  in  Greek.  This  slab  was  found  near  the  town  of 
Rosetta,  on  one  of  the  mouths  of  the  Nile,  hence  its  name.  In 
substance,  it  is  a  set  of  resolutions  or  vote  of  thanks  passed  by 
the  priests,  assembled  on  some  occasion  at  Memphis  about  200 
B.C.,  in  honor  of  Ptolemy  Epiphanes.  It  recites  the  virtues  of 
this  king,  some  of  the  events  of  his  reign,  and  decrees  divine 
honors  to  him  and  his  parents.  Finally  it  provides  for  its  own 
publication,  as  is  usual  nowadays,  by  ordering  that  copies  shall  be 
set  up  in  all  the  temples  of  Egypt.  The  slab  or  tablet  is  about 
3  feet  high,  2  feet  5  inches  wide,  and  from  6  to  12  inches  thick, 
being  very  irregular  at  the  back.  On  its  face  are  engraved  14 
lines  of  Hieroglyphic  text,  32  lines  of  Demotic  text,  and  52  lines 
of  Greek  text,  each  expressing  in  its  own  way  the  same  subject 
matter.  The  original  stone  is  preserved  in  the  British  Museum.

PUBLICATIONS 

OF 

THE  PHILOMATHEAN  SOCIETY 


PUBLICATIONS  OF  THE  PHILOMATHEAN  SOCIETY 

Philo  was  founded  long  before  the  days  of  undergraduate 
publications  at  Pennsylvania.  In  1813  there  was  no  daily 
Pennsylvania!*,  nor  were  there  such  monthly  magazines  as  the 
Red  and  Blue  and  the  Punch  Bowl.  Instead,  the  exercise  of  the 
journalistic  talent  of  the  undergraduates  was  restricted  to  such 
as  were  fortunate  enough  to  be  members  of  Philo.  These  found 
plenty  of  opportunity  in  the  unpublished  magazines,  Papers  in 
the  Box  and  Reviews,  written  out  and  preserved  in  manuscript 
form.  In  the  earlier  days  of  the  Society,  originality  was  not  as 
highly  valued  as  it  is  today;  the  literary  exercises  consisted  more 
of  readings  and  extracts  from  speeches  of  famous  orators  than  of 
original  declamations  such  as  today  are  the  principal  part  of  the 
literary  program.  Consequently  it  would  seem  as  though  the 
members  in  the  early  days  were  not  particularly  proud  of  their 
accomplishments  or  else  that  they  were  more  modest  than  we  are 
today.  A  careful  examination  of  the  minutes,  however,  has  led 
the  editors  to  think  that  Philomatheans  have  been  very  much 
the  same  during  these  hundred  years  and  that  perhaps  it  was  fear 
of  the  reception  of  their  works,  rather  than  any  modesty,  that 
led  the  early  members  to  make  most  of  their  original  compositions 
anonymous. 

However  this  may  be,  the  fact  remains  that  many  literary 
gems  that  have  been  preserved  for  us  are  without  the  names  of 
their  authors.  Such  masterpieces  as  the  Ripto  Sl^ipto  Peedle 
Dum,  edited  by  Messrs.  Blind  Bat,  Smike-yer-Pope,  Bag-o- 
Grease,  Blow-Hard,  etc.  Ho  Neos  Diabolos,  edited  by  Scullion 
Pint-Pot  and  Solly  Swallow-Bug,  and  The  Philomathean  Jr.  and 
Weekly  Sockdolager  are  still  preserved  in  the  Philomathean 

73 


Library.  The  Sockdolager  seems  to  have  had  but  one  number 
which  contains  this  choice  bit: 

A  GOOD  SPECIMEN  OF  LETTER  WRITING

During  the  years  of  1848-51  J.  Cheston  Morris  and  John 
Helmuth,  both  of  '51,  edited  a  magazine  which  they  called  the 
Mummy  Monster.  It  contained  clever  bits  of  satire  on  the 
members  and  on  the  professors  as  well.  In  the  winter  of  1913 
Dr.  Morris  came  up  to  one  of  the  Society's  meetings  and  pre- 
sented the  library  with  an  almost  complete  set  of  Mummy  Monsters. 

The  Review  is  the  oldest  Philo  tradition  and  it  is  still  pre- 
served; it  was  originally  a  magazine  edited  and  read  before  each 
meeting  by  the  "Review  Committee/'  Copies  of  the  Review 
as  early  as  1 828  are  to  be  found  in  the  Philo  Library,  and  some  of 
these  contain  excellent  bits  of  poetry  and  sketches,  such  as  appear 
in  the  monthly  magazines  of  our  modern  colleges.  As  time  went 
on  the  Review  changed  form  due  to  an  increase  of  literary  endeavor 
which  found  expression  in  various  other  Philo  magazines.  The 
Review  gradually  grew  to  be  a  humorous  satire  in  poetry  of  the 
events  of  each  meeting,  and  was  read  as  a  part  of  the  Literary 
Exercises  every  Friday  night  for  the  entertainment  of  the  Society. 
It  was  not  unusual  for  the  reviewer  to  exercise  the  utmost  license. 
A  great  many  of  these  later  Reviews  have  been  kept  and  have  been 
a  valuable  supplement  to  the  "minutes."  Today  it  is  customary 
for  a  particulary  good  review  to  be  incorporated  in  the  minutes 
of  the  meeting. 

74 


The  first  regular  college  publication  that  the  editors  have 
been  able  to  discover  is  the  University  Magazine  published  in 
1843.  It  must  not  be  confused  with  another  magazine  with  the 
same  title  which  ran  in  the  seventies  and  eighties.  The  first 
University  Magazine  apparently  existed  for  only  one  year  and  was 
purely  literary, — in  fact  so  purely  literary,  that  the  only  indica- 
tion that  the  publication  was  at  all  connected  with  the  University 
was  on  the  title  page:  The  University  Magazine  Edited  by  a  com- 
mittee of  the  Philomathean  and  Zelosophic  Societies  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania.  One  volume,  that  of  the  year  1843,  survives 
in  the  Philomathean  Library,  and  as  it  contains  not  a  single  item 
relating  to  the  student  body  it  has  no  special  interest  for  us. 

In  the  fall  of  1 875  there  appeared  the  first  college  publication 
at  Pennsylvania  which  had  for  its  sole  object  student  news. 
The  University  Magazine  published  monthly  by  the  Philomathean 
Society  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  came  out  in  November 
of  1875  and  seemed  to  disregard  absolutely  the  existence  of  the 
previous  magazine  of  the  same  name,  and  marked  its  first  num- 
ber "Vol.  1.  No.  1."  A  committee  of  Philomatheans  had  the 
magazine  in  charge,  and  it  was  devoted  solely  to  students'  inter- 
ests. The  first  editorial  mentioned  the  long-felt  need  for  some 
organ  in  which  the  views  and  opinions  of  undergraduates  could 
be  expressed,  and  it  frankly  asserted  that  it  was  not  "the  Maga- 
zine's intention  to  give  any  deep,  solemn,  political,  financial  or 
mercantile  information,"  but  rather  to  contain  news  relative  to 
college  life.  Throughout  its  existence,  from  1875  to  1885,  the 
Magazine  gave  a  faithful  record  of  events  at  the  University. 
The  bound  volumes  which  are  complete  in  the  Philomathean 
Library  have  been  of  no  little  assistance  to  the  editors  in  piecing 
out  the  minutes  of  the  Society.  Of  course  the  editors  of  the 
Magazine  were  entirely  Philomatheans  and  the  editorial  page 
announced  the  fact  that  the  periodical  owed  its  existence  to  the 
Society.  But  as  the  University  "grew  up"  the  Magazine  could 

75 


not  fairly  be  said  to  be  representative,  as  Philo  has  seldom  had 
more  than  fifty  members  (at  present  she  is  limited  to  that)  while 
there  were  nearly  a  thousand  students  at  the  University.  So 
Philo  consented  to  give  up  the  publication  of  the  Magazine  upon 
condition  that  another  publication  should  at  once  be  started 
by  the  undergraduate  body.  The  public  spirited  attitude  of 
Philo  and  her  generosity  in  thus  giving  up  one  of  her  chief  functions 
was  commended  in  the  first  number  of  the  Pennsykanian. 

Of  other  publications  Philo  has  produced  quite  a  number. 
Many  of  the  speeches  and  biennial  orations  which  have  from  time 
to  time  been  delivered  before  the  Society  have  been  published  and 
are  preserved  in  the  Philomathean  Library;  a  list  of  these  is 
appended  to  this  article,  together  with  as  complete  a  list  of  the 
formal  orations  which  have  been  delivered  before  the  Society 
as  it  has  been  possible  to  get  together.  Bound  up  with  some  of 
these  old  orations  are  copies  of  The  University,  a  magazine  edited 
by  Henry  Budd  and  Charles  Ziegler  in  1869.  It  was  partly 
devoted  to  the  usual  articles  of  fiction  and  partly  to  the  under- 
graduate news  and  editorials  on  college  subjects.  Bound  up  like- 
wise with  these  are  old  commencement  programs  and  an  invitation 
to  the  University  Commencement  of  1816. 

Accounts  of  the  fiftieth  and  seventy-fifth  anniversary  cele- 
brations were  published  and  are  carefully  preserved.  An  address 
by  Dr.  Cruse,  the  first  Moderator,  is  printed  in  the  account  of  the 
Semi-Centennial  and  has  been  reprinted  in  the  present  volume. 

The  most  celebrated  of  Philo's  publications  is  that  of  the 
report  of  the  committee  appointed  to  translate  the  Rosetta 
Stone.  This  is  of  such  significance  that  it  is  discussed  at  greater 
length  elsewhere  in  this  volume. 

In  1896  another  very  creditable  piece  of  translation  was 
done  by  a  committee  composed  of  Edmund  J.  Burk,  '95;  Jasper 
Y.  Brinton,  '98;  John  C.  Hinckley,  '96;  and  Arthur  E.  Weil,  '96, 
who  were  appointed  to  translate  the  "De  Mysteriis"  of  Andocides. 

76 


The  idea  of  publishing  such  a  translation  was  due  entirely  to 
the  committee  in  charge  and  their  work  was  highly  commended 
by  Professor  Lamberton,  the  head  of  the  Department  of  Greek, 
who  gave  the  gentlemen  full  credit  for  their  ideas  and  the  industry 
they  displayed.  This  work  was  published  by  Philo,  and  two 
copies  are  on  the  shelves  of  the  Philomathean  Library.

THE  THREE   MODERATORS  OF  '90 


HUGH  WALKER  OGDEN,  WILLIAM  HERBERT   BURK,  JOSIAH  HARMAR  PENNIMAN 


THE  MODERATORS  OF  1890 

The  picture  on  the  opposite  page  is  an  illustration  of  how 
Philo  prepares  for  the  three  learned  professions  of  Law,  Ministry 
and  Teaching.  These  gentlemen  are  the  three  Moderators  of 
Philo  from  the  Class  of  1890.  On  the  left  is  Hugh  W.  Ogden, 
now  one  of  the  most  prominent  lawyers  in  Boston;  in  the  center 
is  W.  Herbert  Burk,  who  has  since  become  rector  of  the  famous 
Valley  Forge  Memorial  Chapel  near  Philadelphia;  on  the  right 
is  Josiah  Harmar  Penniman,  who,  after  becoming  Professor  of 
English  Literature  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  was  made 
Dean  of  the  College  and  finally  Vice-Provost  of  the  University.

PHILOMATHEAN  DEBATES 


PHILOMATHEAN  INTERCOLLEGIATE  DEBATES 

We  cannot  imagine  what  Philo  would  be  without  her  debat- 
ing. If  there  is  anything  she  has  made  a  point  of  doing  and 
succeeded  in  doing  besides  turning  out  notable  men,  it  has  been 
to  turn  out  notable  debaters.  Her  foremost  activity  has  been 
word-fights.  What  noise  and  smoke  of  frightful  battle  have 
ever  been  more  fierce  than  her  debates  with  Zelo?  It  seems 
that  the  chief  good  Zelo  has  done  has  been  to  supply  us  with  hot 
contests.  It  seems  that  those  unfortunate  members  who  were 
with  us  before  these  contests  started  have  missed  their  grandest 
opportunities  to  saw  the  air  and  rouse  the  dormant  echoes  to 
surprised  applause. 

But  not  only  with  her  neighbor  does  Philo  like  to  argue: 
she  had  enlarged  her  field  till  it  has  extended  from  North  Carolina 
in  the  South  to  New  York  in  the  North.  One  of  the  most  famous 
of  our  debates  is  the  one  we  hold  with  our  worthy  contemporaries 
in  Columbia  University — The  Philolexian  Society.  Yet  even 
an  organization  so  venerable  has  bowed  under  our  weighty 
words  in  four  times  out  of  five. 

The  men  on  the  Philo  teams  have  had  a  good  time  of  it, 
but  they  also  have  had  hard  work  of  it;  they  have  added  much 
of  glory  to  our  annals.  They  have  beaten  Zelo  three  more  times 
than  Zelo  has  beaten  them;  and  by  that,  if  by  nothing  else,  they 
have  earned  the  right  to  have  their  mighty  accomplishments  and 
their  manful  attempts  recorded.

largely  supported  by  Philo  and  the  Philo  and  Zelo  Plays  were  so  elaborate 
that  it  was  necessary  to  cancel  the  annual  debates.  To  continue  the  friendly 
rivalry  a  baseball  game  was  substituted  in  both  years.  These  were  both 
won  by  Philo,  scores: 

1912.  1913. 

Philo,  13;  Zelo,  12.  Philo,  12;  Zelo,  6.

THE  WINNERS  OF  THE  PHILO  PRIZES 

It  has  been  the  custom  of  the  Society,  for  many  years,  to 
offer  prizes  to  those  of  its  members  who  have  participated  in 
contests  in  debating,  essay  writing  and  oratory  held  in  the  Society. 
The  method  of  conducting  these  contests  has  been  changed  from 
time  to  time  with  the  changes  in  the  constitution  and  by-laws— 
but  in  the  main  it  has  consisted  of  money  prizes  awarded  by 
the  Society  upon  the  decision  of  a  board  of  judges — usually  com- 
posed of  senior  members  of  Philo  in  the  faculty.  An  examination 
of  the  numerous  old  constitutions  in  the  Philomathean  Library 
will  explain  why  the  number  of  prizes  has  varied  so  from  year  to 
year. 

These  prize  contests  certainly  existed  as  early  as  1871  and 
the  prize-winners  from  that  date  to  1 91 3  are  here  given.  Previous 
to  1871  there  are  no  records  of  prizes  awarded,  but  the  system 
seems  to  have  grown  from  the  "Philomathean  Exhibitions/' 
which  were  given  as  early  as  1814  and  were  participated  in  by 
members  elected  for  that  purpose.  The  public  was  invited  to 
these  "Exhibitions"  and  they  consisted  mainly  of  orations. 

The  editors  have  compiled  this  list,  partly  because  it  is  his- 
tory and  partly  because  the  men  who  won  these  prizes  are  those 
who  have  done  hard  work  in  Philo  and  whose  performances  in  the 
Society,  as  illustrated  elsewhere  in  this  book,  are  here  explained 
by  their  activity  in  these  lines  of  Philomathean  endeavor.

"AFTER  THE  FIGHT" 

Most  garrets  contain  curiosities  and  the  region  immediately 
beneath  the  roof  of  College  Hall  is  no  exception  to  this  rule.  More 
than  one  visitor  who  has  panted  to  the  library  of  the  Philomathean 
Society  has  seen  there,  among  many  other  relics  and  memorials 
of  bygone  days  at  Pennsylvania,  an  old  bowl  upon  whose  battered 
inner  surface  are  painted  six  fraternity  emblems  surrounding  the 
picture  of  a  dejected-looking  rooster  labeled  "After  the  Fight." 
In  those  days  a  bowl  fight  was  not  the  artificial,  prearranged,  cut- 
and-dried  affair  that  it  is  today.  There  were  no  "fight-marshals" 
paid  by  souvenirs  which  the  man  paying  the  bill  is  told  to  con- 
tribute to  the  umbrella  stand  of  upper-classmen  that  someone 
else  has  chosen.  There  were  no  rules  and  no  halves;  no  judges 
of  "bowl-fight  ethics"  and  no  time-keepers;  no  definite  limits 
and  no  chance  of  finishing  the  fight  in  the  short  space  of  time  it 
takes  the  bowl  man  to  run  the  length  of  Franklin  Field;  there  was 
not  a  portion  of  both  classes  on  the  side  lines  and  another  blase 
group  discoursing  upon  the  "relic  of  barbarism"  and  the  "childish 
nonsense."  There  were  no  comments  such  as  "Excuse  me,  I 
thought  you  were  a  Freshman,"  or  "Are  you  a  Sophomore?" 

In  the  fight  in  which  the  old  bowl,  to  which  the  Philomathean 
Society  has  a  better  right  than  the  owner  of  any  bowl  before  or 
since,  played  a  part,  there  were  two  homogeneous  groups  that 
knew  what  they  were  fighting  for  and  fought  until  they  got  it 
or  were  defeated.  For  this  was  the  bowl  of  the  Class  of  1882 
and  it  has  probably  been  the  subject  of  more  contests  of  different 
kinds  than  any  other  bowl  in  the  history  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania.  After  having  been  kept  intact  by  the  Class  of 
Eighty-two,  on  the  day  of  the  bowl  fight,  December  24,  1879, 

123 


it  was  presented  on  January  1 6,  1 880,  to  the  Philomathean  Society 
by  the  members  of  the  class  who  were  also  members  of  Philo — 
Gustavus  Remak,  Thomas  D.  Finletter,  J.  Campbell  Lancaster 
and  others.  It  remained  there  during  the  succeeding  year.  It 
was  not  an  object  of  satisfaction  to  the  class  that  had  not  succeeded 
in  breaking  it;  and  they  abused  it  on  all  occasions.  Eighty-two's 
Class  Record  in  an  account,  rather  irreverently  written  in  Biblical 
style,  speaks  of  this  controversy,  as  follows : 

"3.  They  set  up  a  bowl  which  should  be  as  a  sign  of  their 
victory.  .  .  5.  But  the  Fresh  seeing  it  were  grieved,  and 
counseled  in  secret  how  they  might  take  vengeance  on  the  Sophites. 
6.  One  warrior  of  the  Fresh.  .  .  did  make  mock  of  the  bowl, 
which  the  men  of  the  Sophs  had  set  up  and  did  despitefully  use 
it.  7.  And  in  the  twelfth  month  when  the  snow  covered  the  earth 
he  did  liken  it  to  a  sled  and  did  slide  therein." 

Eighty-two  resolved  to  defend  their  bowl  from  this  ill- 
treatment.  So  on  December  23,  1881,  William  M.  Hornor,  of 
'82,  made  a  motion  at  a  meeting  of  the  Society  to  return  the  bowl 
to  the  Class  of  Eighty-two.  Logan  M.  Bullitt  and  Charles  Y. 
Audenried  headed  the  Eighty-three  host  in  the  controversy 
that  followed.  They  saw  that  they  were  in  the  minority,  and 
as  a  number  of  years  before  the  Democratic  minority  in  Speaker 
Reed's  House  of  Representatives  had  made  the  same  move  on  a 
larger  chess-board,  they  resolved  to  refuse  to  answer  the  roll-call 
on  Hornor's  motion  and  hoped  thus  to  break  a  quorum.  The 
Eighty-two  men  were  not  to  be  outdone.  They  anticipated 
Czar  Reed's  famous  ruling  that  a  quorum  if  present  should  be 
counted  whether  answering  or  not.  The  Moderator,  Remak, 
ordered  the  doors  closed  and  counted  the  silent  Eight-three  men 
as  present,  for  the  purpose  of  making  a  quorum;  and  the  motion 
was  carried  and  the  possession  of  the  bowl  delivered  to  Eighty-two. 

But  Logan  Bullitt  gave  an  early  display  of  the  fondness 
for  injunction  and  equity  suits  which  he  afterward  displayed 

124 


against  city  contractors  and  filed  a  Bill  in  Equity  in  the  Court 
of  Common  Pleas  No.  1  to  regain  possession  of  the  bowl.  The 
case  is  entitled  "Beaseley  et  al.  vs.  Allyn  et  a/."  and  can  be  found 
in  the  Court  Records  of  Philadelphia  County,  December  term, 
1881 ,  No.  882.  Beaseley's  "d  air  were  the  Eighty-three  men  who 
were  members  of  Philo  and  Allyn's  "et  al."  were  the  whole  class 
of  Eighty-two.  William  M.  Hornor  was  duly  appointed  by  the 
Orphans'  Court  "guardian  ad  litem"  for  such  of  the  Eighty-two 
men  as  were  under  twenty-one  years  of  age,  and  John  R.  Moses 
for  the  Eighty-three  men.  They  were  both  members  of  Philo 
and  were  ever  afterward  regarded  as  the  parents  of  their  classes. 
Francis  A.  Lewis,  Esq.,  an  alumnus  of  Philo,  was  counsel  for 
Eighty-three,  and  H.  Laussatt  Geyelin,  another  senior  member 
of  Philo  and  now  president  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania 
Athletic  Association,  together  with  E.  Copee  Mitchell,  for  Eighty- 
two.  Eighty-two's  object  was  now  to  prolong  the  legal  contest 
until  after  Class  Day — so  that  the  bowl  could  be  displayed  on 
that  occasion.  Their  attorneys,  therefore,  filed  a  demurrer  to 
Bullitt's  bill  on  the  ground  that  it  was  "frivolous,"  that  the 
bowl  had  no  intrinsic  value,  and  that  the  whole  affair  was  "de 
minimis"  This  demurrer  was  argued  before  the  Court  in  Bane, 
Judges  Allison,  Peirce  and  Biddle,  and  on  July  8,  1 882,  President 
Judge  Allison  delivered  the  opinion  of  the  Court.  It  is  reported 
in  the  Weekly  Notice  of  Cases,  volume  XII,  page  90.  The  Court 
decided  that  if  the  bowl  was  worth  fighting  for — it  was  worth 
the  attention  of  the  Court.  By  this  time,  however,  Class  Day  had 
passed,  and  Eighty-two  had  had  their  bowl  then;  so  the  case  was 
settled  to  the  satisfaction  of  Eighty-three  as  well,  upon  the  under- 
standing that  Eighty-two  would  return  the  bowl  to  Philo  and  upon 
the  other  hand,  that  Philo  would  preserve  it  carefully  from  injury 
for  all  time. 

Today,  guests  at  Philo  smokers  see  it  filled  with  tobacco 
and  cigarettes,  but  its  most  important  service  is  rendered  on  Senior 

125 


Night.  The  last  meeting  before  the  Philomathean  Commence- 
ment is  given  up  to  festivities  and  the  bowl  is  placed  upon  a  table 
while  a  Freshman  climbs  into  it.  The  Freshman  then  delivers 
a  speech  upon  the  Senior  Class  while  the  Censores  Morum  revolve 
the  bowl.  By  the  time  the  Freshman  reaches  his  peroration  he 
thinks  he  is  seeing  all  four  sides  of  the  room  at  once.  Later  the 
bowl  is  put  back  in  its  accustomed  place  between  the  book-cases 
and  is  kept  from  all  harm  until  the  next  year.

THE  PHILOMATHEAN  PLAYS 


THE  PHILO  PLAYS 

Dramatic  productions  are  Philo's  most  recently  instituted 
form  of  activity.  The  Philo  plays  owe  their  existence  to  two 
factors  which  have  many  times  been  active  in  the  Society.  One 
is  lack  of  funds  which  has  always  made  the  members  work  when 
all  else  has  failed,  while  the  other  is  that  which  Philo  alone  of 
all  the  organized  groups  at  the  University  seems  to  foster  for 
its  own  sake:  a  love  of  old  things.  It  was  not  the  purpose  of 
the  Society  to  compete  with  that  Dramatic  Organization  at 
the  University  whose  productions  are  famous  throughout  the 
college  world  and  whose  unbroken  line  of  success  has  put  Pennsyl- 
vania far  in  advance  of  every  other  college  in  the  field  of  dramatic 
productions.  Even  hostile  critics  are  forced  to  acknowledge  the 
superiority  of  the  Mask  and  Wig  Play.  But  the  Mask  and 
Wig  Club  has  confined  itself  to  the  production  of  comic  opera 
and  left  to  other  hands  the  task  of  reviving  the  good  things  of 
former  years. 

In  1904  the  Ben  Greet  Company  came  to  the  University 
and  gave  some  of  its  famous  Shakespearean  plays  in  the  Botanical 
Gardens  of  the  University.  This  was  done  under  the  joint 
auspices  of  the  Zelosophic  and  Philomathean  Societies  and  the 
affair  was  managed  by  a  committee  of  which  Walter  C.  Pugh, 
'04,  of  Philo,  was  the  chairman.  A  graded  terrace  in  the  Gardens 
furnished  an  ideal  stage,  while  the  arrangement  of  the  trees  and 
the  thickly  planted  shrubbery  formed  a  background  and  wings 
with  exits  and  entrances  which  were  as  naturally  as  they  were 
conveniently  located.  Since  1904  both  the  Ben  Greet  Company 
and  the  Coburn  Players  have  visited  Pennsylvania  and  given 

129 


difficult  by  some  thirty  entrances  in  the  course  of  the  play.  N.  R. 
C.  Fretz,  '15,  as  "Dol,"  so  cleverly  concealed  his  sex  that  the 
play  was  more  than  half  over  when  a  lady  in  the  audience  in 
utter  surprise  exclaimed,  "Why,  it's  a  boy!" 

Philo  considers  these  plays  worth  while,  irrespective  of 
financial,  educational  and  artistic  considerations,  because  of 
their  value  in  preserving  that  old  Pennsylvania  spirit,  so  difficult 
to  keep  alive  in  this  day  when  little  respect  is  paid  by  the  under- 
graduate to  things  that  are  old.

FOREWORD 

The  following  catalogue  unfortunately  cannot  claim  to  be 
a  standard  authority  in  the  sense  the  editors  had  hoped  to  make 
it.  It  can,  however,  boast  a  conscientious  effort  made  to  give 
it  whatever  degree  of  authority  it  was  possible  to  gain  from 
available  sources.  Innumerable  mistakes  have  been  corrected 
by  the  editors  both  in  their  primary  and  secondary  sources, 
although  undoubtedly  at  the  same  time  many  errors  have  been 
committed. 

The  abbreviations  are  self-explanatory.  An  asterisk  before 
a  name  indicates  that  the  member  is  deceased. 

The  editors  have  conducted  their  search  for  biographical 
material  as  thoroughly  as  possible.  Not  only  have  urgent  letters 
been  written  to  every  living  alumnus,  but  every  possible  source 
of  Philomathean  history  has  been  examined.  The  Matriculates 
Catalogue  of  the  University  (published  1892)  has  supplied  a 
large  part  of  the  information  previous  to  the  graduation  of  the 
Class  of  1884.  The  sources  of  information  for  the  later  classes 
are,  however,  very  scanty,  particularly  in  the  case  of  those  who 
failed  to  answer  the  circular  letters. 

Generally  speaking,  the  dates  of  births  and  deaths  have 
been  carefully  preserved,  but  accomplishments  and  like  items  of 
importance  seem  to  have  been  regarded  as  unworthy  of  record. 
As  a  result  some  of  the  records  are  not  as  complete  as  the  editors 
could  have  desired  them  to  be.  Such  of  the  five  and  ten  year 
books  published  by  the  different  classes  as  were  available  have 
rendered  the  editors  invaluable  assistance.  The  editors  are 
greatly  indebted  to  those  Senior  members  whose  voluntary 
communications  have  supplied  in  many  cases  material  which 

143 


otherwise  would  have  been  impossible  for  the  editors  to  obtain. 
Beyond  these  sources  the  editors  realize  with  regret  how  far 
from  accurate  and  complete  their  work  is;  and  yet  they  feel 
that  their  efforts  have  not  been  altogether  fruitless,  faulty 
though  the  result  may  be;  and  they  hope  that  the  difficulties 
under  which  they  have  labored  will  receive  due  consideration. 
The  editors  desire  to  thank  Dr.  Ewing  Jordan,  '68,  for 
his  kindness  in  giving  helpful  suggestions  and  in  examining 
the  proof.
